ABSTRACT:
A weed pulling apparatus has a tubular member and a handle. The end of the tubular member distally from the handle is inserted into the ground around a weed for forming a weed plug. A plunger rod is longitudinally disposed inside the tubular member and it is axially movable within the tubular member. A weed plug ejecting mechanism includes a lever pivotally mounted at the handle, a lock plate having an opening formed therein through which the plunger rod projects and a plunger head carried on the first end of the plunger rod. The lever and the lock plate cooperate such that, when the lever is pivoted, the lock plate forces the plunger rod downwardly in the tubular member and the plunger head ejects the weed plug from the tubular member.
