The Common Kitchen Item That Makes Pulling Weeds A Breeze
By AMIRA GUNDEL
In the constant battle against garden weeds, a surprisingly simple yet effective tool has emerged from the depths of the kitchen drawer: the humble kitchen fork.
Shared by TikToker @gardeningwithben, the technique involves using a kitchen or fondue fork to gently scrape and dig around the weed, effectively removing its entire root system.
The fork excels at tackling weed seedlings in hard-to-reach areas without disturbing nearby plants, offering a level of precision that larger tools can't match.
The best time to use this method is when weed seedlings have just begun to show their true leaves, as it prevents them from becoming established and developing extensive roots.
