A weed puller for gathering weeds at the interstices between the weed
foliage above the ground and the weed root below the ground includes a
handle for being held by a standing operator at one end and supporting a
body at the bottom distal end. The body defines two blunted prongs on
either side of a central axis on the body extending away from the
attachment to the handle through the body. The two prongs define
therebetween a V-shaped gathering gap with blunted opposed V-shaped edges
on either side of the axis. There is a second body portion including
portions of the two prongs, the first portion being divided from the
second portion along a bending axis normal to the central axis of the
body. The second body portion includes portions of the two prongs bent
upwardly and away towards the handle at an obtuse angle along the bending
axis to form a weed pulling cradle area in the body. When a weed is
gathered between the V-shaped gathering gap between the weed foliage and
the weed root, the weed is pulled at the weed root immediately underlying
the weed foliage between the first body portion and the second body
portion to center in the weed pulling cradle area when the handle is
withdrawn from the ground towards the standing operator. Weed removal
with the attached root and undisturbed seeds can result.
