Whether vegetable garden, flower bed, or any tight spaces where a larger tool wouldn't work, the Ring-Weeder Hand Weeding Tool is designed not only to speed up the weeding process, but also to help extract the entire root. Made of plastic, the device slips over one's gloved index finger so that when the hand is clenched, its twin prong faces downward, ready to dig into the soil around the weed, which is then removed by pinching it between thumb and tool and pulling upward.
