ABSTRACT:
A weed removing device with a shaft having a handle end and blade end. A T-shaped handle is configured on the handle end at a sufficient distance away from the blade end to provide leverage in pushing, pulling and rotating the device. A blade is located at the blade end having an axis member extended axially from the shaft and a blade member extended laterally from the axis member. The blade end of the shaft is submerged into soil until the axis member is in close longitudinal juxtaposition with the main tap root of a weed to be removed. The T-handle is then turned to rotate the shaft, thereby cutting small lateral roots upon contact with a forward edge of the blade member and thereby also twisting the main tap root around the axis member then for removing the weed and root upon withdrawal of the device from the soil.
