Weed Puller

I got me a puller; it works pretty well. Convincing the wife was a bit of a sell. It’s not for the garden; works best in the woods. A think of real beauty once it’s understood. For pulling up shrubs, it’s a gardener’s delight. Just open those jaws and clamp them real tight. Then you pull back the sticks real easy and nice, and it’s rare that you’ll need to tug on it twice. Now, pulling small trees is not quite as quick ‘cuz the trunk sometimes snaps if the roots are too thick. But you just use those jaws and scratch up the ground; Those stubborn old roots will be quick coming ‘round. But my toy really shines on an oversized tree. When that sucker comes down, I’m a-shoutin’ with glee. You set up behind it, dig the roots on both sides, give a push from the back, watch it go for a ride. Some trees, you’ll encircle to bust all the roots; they’re strong and they’re tough and they work in cahoots. But persistence will get it; there’s a lot it can do. Turns out an excavator is a weed puller too.
