Weeding Out Back Pain


Dandelion pulling season is in full swing here in West Michigan. If you are like me and don't use pesticides on your lawn, you need all the help you can get in the war against dandelions. Here is a handy device that helps pull weeds with long taproots such as dandelions, without the need to bend over. My advice: Save a trip to a chiropractor, use the Fiskars weed extractor!

Fiskars UpRoot® Weed & Root Remover
Description (from the Fiskars website)
Wipe out weeds without using chemicals or straining your back!
Our UpRoot® Weed and Root Remover makes it easy to remove invasive plants from your lawn without kneeling, bending over or using harsh, costly herbicide. It features four serrated, stainless-steel claws that grab weeds by the root for clean removal, plus an easy-eject mechanism on the handle that clears the head between uses. The durable aluminum handle is extra-long to help you reach every weed without kneeling or straining your back by bending.
