Weeds are the plants that are not wanted. But they do not sprout up without a cause. Whatever the reason, when the weeds start growing from the cracks, the first instinct of a gardener is to fold them tight in paper towels and set a flame to burn them to ash. However, processes like these aren’t feasible for every space, especially if it’s narrow and enclosed by walls. In March this year, Martha Stewart rolled out a garden weeding hand tool as part of a new collection of garden and outdoor living products for QVC.

The tool, also called “hand hoe,” can get between your plants, loosen the soil, and rip them out from the flower beds without breaking your nails or any hokey flowers screaming at you. It’s a “fabulous tool,” Stewart claims. And it comes for just $24. Stewart first stumbled upon this tool during a trip to Japan in 1980. While browsing the country’s various household and kitchen-garden stores, her eyes fell upon this tool. The tool seemed to be great for digging out pesky weeds. Ever since, it has become her favorite.
