Weed Popping

One of my favorite gadgets of all time is my Weed Popper.

It’s an organic gardener’s dream weeding machine. You won’t need batteries, gasoline, or a cord. Just a little muscle. In fact, you won’t need much muscle at all.

Why do I love my Weed Popper so much? Let me count the ways:

1. You can get rid of weeds in your yard or garden without harsh chemicals. Actually, without any chemicals at all!

2. You won’t wake up the next morning unable to move from bending over pulling weeds. That’s because you never have to bend down!

3. No need for dirt under your nails. You won’t touch the weed.

4. I find it to be very stress relieving. From the twisting to the ejecting- I love it!

5. It pops the weed, root and all. So they won’t grow back unless another weed seeds itself and settles in (but let me explain how to prevent that below).

First, here’s how to pop: Push down directly onto the weed you want popped. Press until the spikes have sunken in around the weed. Gently twist, and twist, and twist again. Now pull straight up. Hold the weed over a bin and pop down on the eject button. Done!

Total weed popping time: just seconds!

Bonus tip: To prevent more weeds from growing in this same spot later in the season, I immediately fill the empty hole with grass seed. You might need to fill a little top soil in the open space because the bigger the weed you pop, the bigger the hole it leaves behind.
