    Darn. I don't seem to have an edit thingy. The scraper I think about 2.99 or less. I've only got a little jobbie.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well


  • I’m very low church when it comes to this kinda thing. My tools are in a bucket, and my all round weeding/general gardening tool is either an old knife or an even older wallpaper scraper. They get deep down in before you slash the root and pull it out 🫢
    I removed the shell from my racing snail, but now it's more sluggish than ever.

    If you hover the mouse in the top right corner you'll see it change to a hand with an extended finger where the icon should be. For some reason it doesn't always show the little "gear" icon for the dropdown menu, it is there but invisible. I think it goes after the first edit - for me the whole blue banner disappears.

    If you try to edit twice in a short space of time the gear wheel thingie disappears- it's not very patient!! but if you go back later you can edit once more.

    I also wanted to comment on the tool.
    I remember an aunt had one of those and she used it for attacking the dandelions- or was it the daisies? It was a looong time ago.
    I guess it was possibly from the 1920/30s as there was nothing new in that Edwardian house!
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

  • That's for removing weeds. Really handy for deep rooted weeds.
