I love the idea of “micro” as well and have been experimenting with weeding for 5-10 minutes in the mulched beds around the hammock in our yard. What kind of weeding knife do you have? I think it’s about time for me to get one!

Yay! This is the one I have https://amzn.to/3ZtaDjT and I am also a fan of this Cape Cod weeder -- it's amazing the way it picks weed roots up as you drag it through soil! https://www.gardeners.com/buy/cape-cod-weeder-right-handed/8586974.html

No joke, these tools actually make weeding fun LOL. I also bought the root slayer shovel at Gardeners.com!

Are you even a gardener if you don't have a japanese weeding knife? I love mine! But always leave it in the soil somewhere, and need to look for it every time. Jackson calls it the "master sword" from zelda.

Ha ha ha! I mentioned this in another comment, but I also love this weeding tool. I use this when I am trying to clear weeds from soil (vs. a nice mulch bed I want to be intact) -- it's so good at grabbing weed roots! https://www.gardeners.com/buy/cape-cod-weeder-right-handed/8586974.html
