Any work on the site takes a lot of time and effort. But the most tedious, which requires attention throughout the season, is weed control. If you tear them with your hands, then the remaining roots will begin to grow even more on fertilized soil. Therefore, it is better to use special equipment that will help remove weeds with roots.

Rake
Rakes are usually used to harvest grass. But they can also help in the fight against weeds, especially on lawns. They perfectly remove creeping plants and with superficial roots. The sharp ends of the rake pick up such weeds, while the lawn is not damaged, since cereals have a strong root system. A rake is useless against a sow thistle or dandelion. 
Rake, types of root eliminator
Root eliminator
The root eliminator, as its name implies, allows you to extract the roots of weeds that go deep into the ground. He has many modifications, in the form of:
- an elongated scapula - its end is pointed, blunt or bifurcated - with the help of a handle they press on the ground close to the root of the extracted weed, then picking it up they take it out of the soil;
- v-shaped forks - allows you to more firmly grasp the root;
- corkscrew - screw under the plant and roots, pull out.
New modifications have now been developed where there is emphasis for the foot. Such a device is introduced into the ground when the foot presses on it like a pedal. Steel teeth close around the weed and pull it out with a sharp movement. Then, with a pushing movement, the tool is released from the removed plant.
These are, of course, useful devices, but they are only good for processing individual weeds.
Hoe
In the fight against often located and numerous weeds, a chopper will help. 
Sapa, hoe, double-sided chopper
The tool will allow not only to remove weed grass, but also to plow the ground, breaking up clods and letting the roots of noble plants breathe and make furrows.
They are rectangular, triangular and trapezoidal, with handles of different heights. For instance:
- the so-called garden glanders, has a thin blade, suitable for cutting roots. The most powerful one allows you to remove even burdocks with roots, but at the same time, you can damage the roots of the desired crops, so it requires caution when using. It is good for hilling, for example, potatoes, when weeds are removed along the furrow between plants. Moreover, the handle in this case should be large, like a spade;
- hoe - compared to glanders, the blade is narrower and taller, but thicker. It is used more likely not to remove weeds, but to make beds or holes for planting;
- a double-sided chopper is the most popular, on the one hand it has a sharp blade resembling a hoe, on the other hand a small rake that allows you to loosen the earth and pick up weeds.
Now there are new varieties of choppers:
- Fokin's ploskorez - a blade bent at 90 degrees is attached to the handle, resembling a sharp poker;
- Pololnik Arrow and Stirrup - in the first blade resembles an arrow, in the second stirrup.
I’ll tell you from my experience that in the arsenal you need to have all the devices and use them each for your work. Loosening and weeding between plants with a chopper with a small handle and rake, in the aisle - use a powerful and high one. And to remove individual weeds with deep roots - use a root eliminator, and which modification is your choice.
