What we like most about this loop weeder is how easy it makes weeding in a congested garden bed. Its thin, rigid stainless-steel blade tapers to a rounded point, allowing precise, targeted weeding. Since you can see the edges of the blade at all times, it also helps you avoid accidentally nicking the stems or roots of the plants you want to keep. The broad blade can also be used for trenching or furrowing when drawn at an angle. 12" long overall with a UV-resistant plastic handle.
