weeders
Unwanted plant removers
Weeders are tools designed to remove unwanted plants from gardens and lawns, or the people who use them.
Hand weeders come in various designs—forked, hooked, or with serrated edges—to grip and extract weeds by the root.
The weeders spent the morning clearing dandelions from the flower beds.
Standing weeders with long handles spare gardeners from bending over.
The term extends to mechanical and chemical solutions for weed removal.
