Hello, I wondered if anyone uses a long handled weeder, the type you can use standing. If so do they work and are they worth the money please?

    As part of one of those online review scams, we were sent one on wheels, unsolicited. It was absolute rubbish. Two nice shiny wing nuts, though. Kept them and binned the rest.

    OH and I have a collection of Wolfi multi-head tools which we can attach to short, medium and long handles depending on what we're doing and where we're working.  OH usually gardens standing up - raking, hoeing etc - and I do a lot of weeding and hoeing that way too but I like to get down to plant level for weeding and planting in established beds so the short handles are mostly used by me.

    I bought a garden claw and it works great removing weeds No bending but you do obviously have to stand on one leg to plant the other on the small step to press it into the ground.
