    Yes ... a daisy grubber.  Great for getting perennial weeds like dandelions and daisies out of lawns if you don't like them there.  Slide it down close to the root below the rosette of eaves so that the notched blade slices through the root ... you can then lift the rosette of the weed clean away with no trouble and leaving hardly a mark in the turf.

    I have one of these, it's a really good tool for getting weeds out of the grass. I use it when the ground is damp and they come out easily.

    We have 4 of them and our son in law made us some others from reinforcing rods. We need that many as they d tend to get lost in the garden.
