The £6.99 Robert Dyas gadget that gets rid of weeds instantly and Alan Titchmarsh is a fan
IF you’re in need of a weeding hack that is sure to stop pesky plants popping up all over your garden – fear not, you’ve come to the right place.
Alan Titchmarsh has revealed his go-to gadget that instantly destroys weeds.
The handy tool can be snatched up for just £6.99, and is currently being sold at Robert Dyas.
And it’s bound to help Brits fix up their gardens just in time of summer.
Renowned gardening expert Titchmarsh unveiled his secret device writing for Country Life.
His neat planning trick means that he “never has to do any weeding”.
Titchmarsh revealed that he uses a handy weed grubber.
The broadcaster said that his tidiness on the lawn was “confined to weekly mowing and fortnightly edging in spring and summer”.
Highlighting the key timings, he also told of what fertiliser is best to use.
But he cautioned to use it only at the correct times.
He explained: “I feed with the ubiquitous blood, fish and bone in April and again in June, and extract any large rosettes of plantain or dandelion with a daisy grubber.”
The Wilkinson Sword Stainless Steel Weed Grubber can be bought for under £7.
According to Robert Dyas, the gardening gadget is weatherproofed and rust-resistant.
One shopper who bought the grubber branded it a “brilliant little tool”.
They said: “This works well for smaller weeds, and does not remove too much of your lawn!”
Another said: “Perfect for weeding my strawberry patch and great value for money.”
They recommended the product and rated it five stars.
Titshmarsh added that ubiquitous blood fish and bone was the best fertiliser for this job.
An organic fertiliser, this all-natural mix of dried animal by-products gives grass a steady dose of nutrients without scorching it or harming the soil.
It can feed lawns slowly over time, helping roots grow deep and strong, while boosting the health of the soil underneath.
As opposed to commercial lawn feed, it can prove to be a great substitute and one that old-school gardeners love to go for.
