The Weed Hound

Pull the Weed. Keep the Lawn.

The Walden® Weed Hound™

• CLEAN PLUG, NOT A DIVOT - Most stand-up weeders grab at a taproot and tear a chunk out of your turf. Six concentric steel tines close around the whole base of the weed and lift a narrow core, so the lawn closes back over it instead of scarring. Clean enough that the same tool doubles as a sod plugger for lawn repairs and transplanting grass plugs.
• SIX TINES GRIP THE CROWN, NOT JUST THE ROOT - Four-claw weeders are built for a single taproot, which is why they do well on dandelions and struggle elsewhere. Six tines closing around the crown hold dandelion, thistle, clover, plantain, chickweed and crabgrass alike - the clumping, fibrous weeds a taproot tool slides off of.
• YOU NEVER TOUCH THE WEED - Step, tilt, then press the knob with your thumb and the weed drops out of the tines. No bending, no kneeling, and no stopping to pull the weed out of the tool by hand. The 39-inch handle keeps you fully upright, and it is sized for users 5'0"–6'4"+.
• ALL-STEEL, BUILT FOR SEASONS NOT SUMMERS - Professional-grade steel throughout, with reinforced welds and a powder-coated finish that resists rust and corrosion. No wooden handle to crack, swell or rot when it lives in the garage or gets left out on the lawn. Under 3 lbs, so a full afternoon of weeding does not wear out your shoulders.
• CHEMICAL-FREE, AND HONEST ABOUT HOW IT WORKS - No herbicide, and nothing to keep kids or dogs off the grass for. Works best in soil with some give: if your ground is baked hard, water the area an hour before you weed and the whole root comes up with it. A built-in hanging hole keeps it stored and ready in the garage, shed or on a tool rack.

How to Use

1. Approach the weed with the round knob pushed down.
2. Place the tine tips on the weed, surrounding the center of the weed’s base.
3. Firmly step down. The tines will sink into the ground and the knob will raise up.
4. Pull upward slowly with the weed in the grasp of the tines.
5. Push the knob downwards firmly to release the weed and roots from the tool.
