ABSTRACT:
Hand weeding tools have attempted to remove unwanted weeds from lawns and gardens by extracting as much of the root structure as possible. Usually, the extracted weed must be picked up after extraction. The disclosed device includes a curving cylindrical blade on one end of an elongated rod and a handle on the other. A lever on the handle operates a weed engaging jaw that grips the extracted weed against the concave surface of the curved blade. The jaw is pivotally hinged to the blade so that the jaw can be closed into the blade thus preventing unintended penetration of the blade into the soil, as when the tool is used as a cane to aid in walking or standing.
