Sophie Conran weeder is designed specifically for the female hand.

There is nothing more irritating than trying trying to remove weeds from the garden but always finding the roots get left in the ground, allowing them to re-grow again.

This 3 pronged weeder is an excellent way to tackle them once and for all - simply hold the weed in one hand, push the prongs into the crown of the plant, twist and remove - and voila! As with all the Sophie Conran tools although designed specifically with the female hand in mind, it is a great gift for any gardener.

With stainless steel prongs, solid brass ferrule and a gorgeous natural FSC waxed beech wood handle, which will over time mould to the shape of your hand.
