Lawn dandelions ok. But what about deep stubborn tap root weeds between flagstones?

I'm not so sure it would work on flagstones - the prongs need to get into the soil, then you rotate the tool so that it makes a "divot" you then pull out. In regular soil it would probably work on other kinds of weeds besides dandelions.

Nope, the jaw end is too wide to get into typical gaps between flagstones. Best use some kind of herbicide for those.

You may want to try WOLF-Garten Weed Extractor (http://www.bluestonegarden.com/gardening/wolf-garten-tools/wolf-garten-weed-extractor.html) and then order a "D" handle as well. The whole thing is around $20.00 (plus shipping). I trust WOLF-Garten products totally (made in Germany). Amazon has the right handle on here, NOT Prime, but not the weed extractor. I like Yard Butler products as well, but this won't work for what you want to use it.

I would suppose that depends on how closely set the stones are, and whether you can lift them to maneuver the tool. I've lifted deep vines, but if this is a true tap root, one would guess that this would be a time where you might have to add a systemic remedy to kill the root or dig and chop it out. In all likelihood, a deeply set and well grown root is not going to be pulled up with a tool like this. That said, this is a well-made and very effective tool for many purposes.

A new variation adds dish detergent (1 to 2 Tbsp) to 1 gallon of 5% vinegar as a weed killer. Sprayed directly on weeds, the detergent (Dawn original, I have heard, but any brand should work, I think) allows the vinegar to stick to the leaves. Having not tried this, I wonder whether the stronger level of acid is necessary, at all. This does not work on the roots, however, so the way to kill the weed is to spray the next wave of leaves, thereby preventing photosynthesis, which creates the starch that the roots exchange for nutrients provided by the living organisms in the soil. I will be trying the 5% vinegar/detergent solution on that stubborn wad of broadleaf grass growing tall in a cinder block chamber, but after it stops raining here. I may revise my opinion about the advisability of 20% vinegar. Stay tuned. ANSWER: The vinegar will affect whatever it contacts, but if the detergent holds it to the weed, the bush roots might be safe. If the weed has broad leaves, I would suggest painting on the solution rather than hit-or-miss spraying. Again 20% may be overkill.

No problem with the leaves. Grass clippings can be used to keep weeds down, but they also contain seeds. I usually combine them into a mulch pile and let the rot together, then use them later as mulch.

This tiller worked great on Dandelions as well as crabgrass and other weeds that tried to infest my lawn. I love it!!!

You will probably do a little damage to the surrounding grass but should fill in in a week or two. You just need to hit the top of the dandi weed once or twice over a week or two to kill it permanently. John

I literally put mine right on top of landscape rocks(after leveling). The bottom is somewhat egg carton like so it leveled out well. I think you'd be more than fine on flagstone.

A mixture of vinegar, salt and dishsoap should kill dandelions, so I would expect that this would as well. Don't get it on your skin.

I haven't used it for that purpose. I have just been spraying weeds on the ground. Sorry I can't answer that for you

Yes, it will definitely kill your grass. I have tried several recipes to rid my gravel drive of weeds, but none of the "natural" recipes kills the roots.

It was designed to pull broad leaf weeds like Dandelions which have a long tap root. Works pretty well especially if you get to the weeds when they are young. It is not 100%, it breaks off some roots if they are real long or the ground is hard. So it that is a concern use Crossbow spray.

We have that darned stuff in our yard too. The Weed remover works pretty darned well, as long as your ground is damp from spring rains. Once it gets hard and dry, not so good. It's really kind of fun to pull the thistles and dandilions out using this device -- as long as the ground is damp, that is.

I use this to eradicate dandelions and aerate our back yard. It works well doing both jobs. I have not tried it on any other weeds.

I don't know the effect this product have on other weeds. My problem was dandelions and today I haven't seen one grew back on my lawn. Look into other weed and feed products and the main weeds it controls. Hope this is helpful.

I use a pump up sprayer and my lawn is Centipede. I was overrun with nut sedge after a hurricane and it took 4 applications to destroy the weed. That was over a year and a half time frame. Just now we are using it once again for a wild violet that blew in during wind gusts. So far one application has withered the outer leaves only I see fresh shoots starting. Unfortunately the day I spayed this area had a cloud burst, where else but over my lawn. I hope someone who has St Augustine will share their findings with you. As far as the Image goes in controlling weeds, I don't use anything else. This product works if directions are followed as stated on label. Scots001.

Not well at all. Dry grass is optimal. Tall standing weeds it has a problem cutting

I dunno. It's been a while since I bought this. Worked great on all the weeds around my pound though.

Get a mallott and pound in the spikes should be okay, trellis hooks up to the spikes you pound in the ground.
