Wow, what a lifesaver this little tool is! After reading the above article, I was prompted to get the Nejiri Gama Hoe and the AM Leonard soil knife. I have been struggling with weeds with matted roots for years now. But this year is the worst. The mild December &Jan had brought out all kinds of weeds with matted roots. They covered all my my beds spreading themselves everywhere. I don't know all their names but they are all nasty. It has been a pain for me to weed these roots with the usual cheap garden trowel and mini hoe. It took me along time and alot of knee aches to clear these weeds. With the AM Leonard soil knife, the serrated edge cuts through these matted roots like a breeze and so fast. I was able to clear these weeds from my two beds in two hous. Just amazing! Thank you Trish and everyone who had recommended this tool in the survey. I love it so much that I will get another one.
