Look for a hands-on weeder if you prefer to kneel down to work in your garden. Another option is to go with a weeder that has a bamboo handle, as bamboo is extremely strong and durable. Plastic models are not ideal, as they are not as sturdy and easy to use as weeders made using a stainless steel blade and a resin-encased carbon steel shaft. Instead, you’ll want to purchase a weeder that can permanently remove the weeds from their roots.Ĭheck the construction materials used to create the weeder.

As a small family business, we’ve come a long way in 16 years. We were thrilled to introduce Grampa’s Weeder to gardener’s everywhere.

was born and we were hand-making this turn-of-the-century weed puller tool in that very same garage. Once he figured out what it was and how it worked, he was hooked! The next thing we knew, Grampa’s Gardenware Co. This all changed in 1999 when my husband Greg found my mother’s strange looking garden tool in her garage. Production of the stand-up weeder stopped in 1941 so that all available metal could be put towards the war effort and unfortunately, once the war ended, manufacturing of this wonderful weed removal tool never resumed. Grampa’s Weeder has been pulling out weeds and their roots for over a hundred years! This ingeniously designed weed removal tool was invented in 1913 in Seattle, Washington and people living in the Great Northwest quickly made it the MUST-HAVE weed puller for getting rid of weeds quickly and easily.
