Growing up in San Diego, we had this sick backyard...really lovely...and my parents worked on it every weekend. What I do remember, and what I've always just considered the norm, when weeds would pop up, my dad would get out the trusty "Weed B Gon" and spray away!
So, when I noticed weeds growing uncontrollably in my new backyard, I immediately thought to get some of the good stuff. WELL, apparently, in Berkeley, even weeds are composted and food for future-fertilizer (WHY does Berkeley have to make EVERYTHING so difficult! ha!). SO, off to Hida Tools I went. Hida is this tiny little Japanese tool store with EVERY kind of knife/sharp object imaginable. I picked out a weeder, ridiculously expensive (at least 10 times the cost of Weed B Gon!), apparently one of the best kinds, and headed home.
Ok...let's just say...I am now obsessed with weeding! Its this great source of releasing agression. And the immediate reward is to see all your weeds lying dead, removed, ready for composting...ahhh...so nice. This tool is EXCELLENT...sharp; takes no prisoners. Highly recommended.
Now get out of my way...I've got some weeding to do...
