Hey Silver Cymbal...I bought the Grandpas Weeder based on your original video and have been so pleased with it. In fact I was so impressed that I went on to Amazon and did a very thorough and glowing review of it. I very rarely do reviews, so a product REALLY needs to impress for me to be compelled to write one. Truth is...there is something INCREDIBLY SATISFYING when you are using it and nearly 90% of the time it grabs the entire root in one shot. AMAZING! Just now clicked on your affiliate link to order the Corona....looks like another solid product. Thank you for making such great content...I look forward to each video and always learn something new! Keep it up!

Great recommendations Chris! One thing to note is that after a weed had been pulled, the disturbed soil can expose new weed seeds, and attract airborne ones. So a pre-emergent weed preventer like Espoma Organic Weed Preventer is worth applying, even if you mulch the area afterwards.

I broke a Grandpa's Weeder twice when pulling Mallow. First time the cast iron jaws broke and they sent a replacement. I'm willing to believe this was a casting defect as it broke without signficant pressure applied. The second time the wooden handle cracked on a tough root. I haven't bothered returning it after that. It was a great tool for minor tap roots but its just not as heavy duty as it looks. All the tap roots pulled in this video are very small.

I love Fiskars stuff, and LOVE their spade for all my edging. But their weeder is medicore at best and lots of plastic and things that move and jam.

@SilverCymbal Ай бұрын

Tenacity should bea staged approaching meaning, at the beginning you will use it, maybe 2-3 times the first year, 2 times the second and often by year 3 once or not at all. Weeds will be crosded out mainly by grass. But for those that get through or in beds, its not worth spraying for a small handful or really large weeds. These tools are perfect for that, for touchups or if you don't want to use chemicals at all. Hope this is helpful.

Which one is appropriate for crabgrass?

@SilverCymbal Ай бұрын

You can use Grampas weeder when crabgrass is smaller. But if it reaches the crabzilla size you will need the Corona tool to get it out.

@robertburek1208 Ай бұрын

When should you use these tools to weed vs using tenacity?

@SilverCymbal Ай бұрын

Tenacity is ideal when you have a lot to deal with in the lawn. But its almost impossible to use it in a bed, and its not worth breaking it out for just say 20 dandelions or some big weeds. These tools are instantly ready, I leave them by my garage door so I can grab them fast and get anything I might see, especially in beds but for the lawn too. So its not an exact answer but Tenacity is used the most in years 1 and 2, but by year 3 the need for control should be 80% reduced as grass keeps filling in

@robertburek1208 Ай бұрын

@@SilverCymbal Thank you very much for the explanation. Love your channel and will be referring to it a lot when I get my next house soon!

@marklundeberg7006 Ай бұрын

Ideally when you have a well functioning lawn/garden you should only need to spot treat weeds, whereas Tenacity seems to be more of a heavy broadcast spray thing. I have a tank of glyphosate (Roundup) and a tank of selective lawn herbicide (Ortho Killex) both with AA battery powered hand sprayers. They are easy to grab at any time, they are already mixed, and there is no pumping required: just aim and squeeze the trigger. You can set the roundup sprayer to deliver a precise stream and easily hit a weed inside of a dense garden bed. No need for muscles and no need to bend over. Look them up, they are called Comfort Wands. There is one exception though: quackgrass, which has rhizomes, and likes to grow up tall right in the middle of a shrub. For quackgrass I have had to get in and paint a roundup concentrate by hand. Mechanical weed pullers would not work at all due to the rhizomes being so difficult to fully extract.

In beds, or other ares 100%. In the lawn you can use probably use either tool as crab grass does spread on the surface but the weeder may pull it out as it has one main sub-surface room. But if you use the Corona, angle the tool so the corner goes into crabgrass if its in the lawn for best results

@SilverCymbal Ай бұрын

Yes, heres a trick when using superhoe in the lawn. First, do it when the ground is wet, after rain or sprinkler. It just helps the roots all come out. I angle the corona so you are using one or two tines, give it a whack in the ground and then pull. It works very well most of the time. The bonus is no digging, no hands and knees and the divot can be filled in. The speed of this is why I keep using both of these tools.
