hypernova:
I used to have around 3 acres to work with myself.  I didn't give a fudge what grew in that yard.

But I do care in our little subdivision home.  Good neighborhood.  Most neighbors have good looking lawns.  I also love the look and feel of a well kept lawn.

What are those tools called exactly, ahofle?

It's called a weed puller.  Your local store may have it under a brand name but Google returns quite a few hits with that generic term.

SavannahLion:
I didn't even experience the unadulterated joy of owning a lawn until I turned 30.  For years I lived in a house where the landscape was dominated by four foot tall ferns, flowers the size of baseballs and pine trees.

Now I'm not even sure what my lawn is supposed to look like. It has this hideous plant that grows with stalks as thick as my thumb, fox tails and those damn burr things. I'm one step short of using fire to get rid of those damn things. This year I'm buying the hard plastic blades for the weed eater because it's a bear to cut them down sometimes.

I'd give almost anything to live in that house with the ferns again. :(

RobbyMac:
Those plastic weed eater blades (gator something or other?) work alot better than string (and last alot longer)

RayB:
Fiskar's weed puller. Looks gimmicky but it actually works. So easy. No twisting. Just center it on the weed, step down to force the blades into the soil, then pull back like a lever. Does leave holes all over the lawn though...  :-\
