Weeds appearing in the garden or lawn not only look unaesthetic, but they can also quickly multiply and ultimately "suppress" the ornamental plants we grow or cause smaller crops in the vegetable garden. Unwanted self-seeders often grow in hard-to-reach places, such as cracks in paving stones.

How to get rid of weeds without weeding?

Of course, the most popular method of getting rid of weeds is weeding them out, i.e., mechanically removing them—manually or with a sharpened hoe. However, this method is tedious and can strain your spine heavily. Spending a long time in an unnatural, bent position may result in unpleasant back pain.

Some people opt for chemical methods and sprays. However, this is not an eco-friendly and inexpensive solution and can negatively impact your crop.

Removing weeds without weeding

Fortunately, there are modern, non-invasive methods of weed removal that allow you to easily clean the garden, driveway, or sidewalk without bending over and risking back pain. Special tools are helpful for this task. One such gadget is a weed burner. You can quickly remove unwanted plants with it without harming others. You grasp the stem and roots with the nozzle and then burn them.

A special weed puller can also be effective in fighting weeds. You do not have to bend over—the machine consists of special "claws" on a long handle. You can easily cut out weeds in garden beds without damaging other plants and in hard-to-reach places.
