Sometimes, the causes of your weed problems can be underlying issues with soil, which may take a long time to get under control.

This one is made from stainless steel and has a two-pronged fork design that’s meant to grab weeds by their roots. While a handheld garden cultivator is better for everyday weeds, a spading fork can handle a weed with deeper roots. “I can insert the fork into the ground around the weed from varying directions to loosen the soil around the roots,” he says, adding that the process “aerates the soil around desirable plants.” He also notes that a spading fork can be used by novices and experts alike.
