It's an oldie but a goodie?place the two iron prongs of Grandpa's Weeder around a weed, step down on the foot lever, tilt the tool in toward the lever and out comes the weed, root and all. Invented in 1913, the 39-inch-long tool went out of commission during WWII and has recently been rediscovered for all you whippersnappers.
