[MAIPC] Weed wrenches

[MARGARET L CHATHAM]

I dearly love my own weed wrench — have used it on multiflora rose, Japanese barberry, althea, Linden viburnum, bush honeysuckle, oriental bittersweet, privet, mahonia, wineberry, and probably others that don’t come to mind right now. It doesn’t work well on callery pear (roots too brittle) or autumn olive over 3/8” diameter at base.
