Weeds poking through a neat gravel driveway are infuriating, especially when you keep bending down with a screwdriver and the same plants pop back a week later. Garden tool makers have come up with something much better for this exact job: a small forked hand weeder, such as the Husky Double Injection Stainless Steel Hand Weeder, designed to hook under the crown of the weed and lever the whole plant out. Used properly, it is often the best tool to remove weeds from a gravel driveway without chemicals, and it works in a way that might surprise you. Why a forked hand weeder beats a screwdriver in gravelThe Husky hand weeder uses a narrow, grooved fork at the tip that slides between gravel and into the soil, catching the stem right where it meets the roots. One French guide describes models with a profiled blade and easy depth control that pull up weeds while also loosening compacted stones.
