Now spring is in the air, many home gardeners are gearing themselves up to get their outdoor space tidied up and ready to relax in come the new season. But, years of gardening can wreak havoc on joints, especially in the knees, with lots of bending down and kneeling involved to get outdoor tasks done.
To eliminate this problem and ease aches, one keen gardener has found relief with a handy tool that assists in removing weeds without having to kneel down. The ‘godsend’ gadget means the gardener is able to work outside ‘for longer without any pain’ – and there’s a way to get this tool for £25.
The Thompson & Morgan Garden Gear Weed Puller is £34.99 at full price, however, it’s currently on sale at Yimbly, an e-commerce platform operated by our parent company Reach Plc, for £27.99. Pair this with the discount code WINTER10 on the Yimbly website and the tool comes down to £25.10.
Leaving a five star review for the Garden Gear Weed Puller on the Thompson & Morgan website, the gardener wrote: “I had an old weed puller which meant kneeling down to use it. Although it worked well, it put a lot more pressure on my knees and back. This weed puller lets me do the same job standing up which is a godsend as I am able to use it for longer without any pain.
“I have only used to remove weeds from my lawn and it does this well. It will remove a plug of earth along with the weed but this can be filled with a small amount of compost etc.”

To rid the garden and borders of weeds, the tool uses long reach claws that remove the full weed and roots – all while the user stays standing up. This technique also helps to aerate the lawn in the process, boosting future growth.
Simply place over the intended weed, press on the foot plate to push the claws into the ground and tilt up to grab the weed and roots securely. A grab and release system then allows the users to deposit the weed straight into a wheelbarrow or bag for disposal. An extended shaft has easy hold grips so there should be no more back aching work.
