My wolf-garten weeding knife. Can attach it to small or or long handle, depending on what type of weed it is. Goes down a long way to get most, if not all, of a tap root out.
Also useful for chopping slugs in half.
When she lived in England, my Mum used to carry a small pair of snips and plastic bags in her pocket. If we were out walking the dogs and she saw something she liked the look of, she'd send me into the garden to take a 'Nicky bit'. They almost always rooted!
No wonder I disliked gardening for so long, was bought up not to steal, then sent by the same person who instilled the 'thou shalt not covet thy neighbours' buddliea' commandment to do exactly that!
