weed pulling
Extracting unwanted plants
Weed pulling is the act of removing unwanted plants from a garden or lawn by hand, grasping near the base and extracting the root system.
The term emphasizes the physical labor involved: I spent the morning weed pulling in the flower beds.
It's distinguished from other weeding methods like hoeing or chemical treatment.
