Caring for the beds and lawn is, perhaps, a more responsible task than sowing seeds. In the process of growing crops or caring for a lawn, every summer resident encounters the same problem – weeds. If we are talking about the latter, then the weeds will drown out the lawn grass and instead of a beautiful lawn, your lawn will be full of a variety of weeds. The same can be said about the beds. If weeds are not removed from them in time, then soon there will be practically nothing left of cultivated plants, they will be drowned out by weeds.
Weeds tolerate low temperatures and other adverse weather conditions well. They are distinguished by high survival, which cannot be said about vegetables, berries, fruits and lawn grass. That is why the fight against weeds is so difficult, it takes a lot of time and effort. Today, every summer resident has the opportunity to significantly simplify the process of cleaning the territory of the house, garden and vegetable garden from overgrowth. To do this, you can purchase a Fiskars weed remover, specially designed to easily remove weeds without having to bend over and use chemicals. This article will discuss the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of the tool. You can also visually view the operation of this device in the video provided at the end of the article.
General characteristics of the tool

The Fiskars Xact garden shovel also received excellent recommendations from consumers. It is designed for users with a height in the range of 160-175 cm. It features a reinforced blade. It has a long service life and can be used even on the most littered and hard ground. The handle is equipped with anti-slip rubber inserts. Due to the fact that the blade of the shovel is also sharpened from the side, the penetration of the shovel into the ground becomes as easy as possible.
Disadvantages of the weed extractor
Each tool has both a number of advantages and some disadvantages. Therefore, in order to make the choice of Fiskars as objective as possible, we suggest that you also familiarize yourself with its shortcomings. Some users of the 139950 Series Weeder have reported that the tine blades are narrow. In their opinion, they should be wider. As practice shows, the teeth do not always converge at one point, which is why they jam.
It is better to raise the weed extractor, gently spread the teeth and remove the weed by hand.
It is likely that with this tool it is impossible to completely pull out the thistle root, since it has a long root that exceeds the length of the teeth, equal to 8,5 cm. While the device is ideal for removing dandelions, which will be clearly shown in the video .
Features of care and storage of the device
Every tool lasts longer if properly cared for. The Fiskars weed remover is no exception. In order for this tool to serve you as long as possible, it must be cleaned after each use. If the work was carried out in dry soil, then it is not necessary to wash the Fiskars. It will be enough to wipe it with a dry cloth. However, if the soil was damp or wet, then the weed remover should be rinsed and dried.
This garden tool is stored in a dry place, which is reliably protected from rain. This could be the place where you store all your gardening tools. That part of the tool that comes into contact with the ground must be lubricated with a protective agent for the winter. It could be solid.
