This wheel weeder is a tool that was used in Belgian Flanders. It is composed of a wheel and a weeding blade located at the rear.
The wheel, which is mounted on bearings, holds the weeds down against the ground while the blade cuts them with a clean cut below the surface. The hardened steel blade is fully adjustable (angle and height).
As a result, this tool is suitable for different types of soil and pedoclimatic conditions. It works by continually pushing it along. The angle of the handle can be adjusted to suit the user. This makes it more comfortable to push.
It is the ideal tool for early weeding operations at the filament/cotyledon phase. Do not use this tool on stony soils.
