Hound Dog Weed Hound

Pros: It's a conversation piece for your neighborhood.
Cons: Doesn't pull the entire weed all of the time. The weed "ejector" gets stuck.

About five years ago, my husband went through a health nut stage that included a ban of pesticides. A year later, our lawn was covered in pretty yellow flowers, the kind that our neighbors frowned upon. One day, the hubby came home with a ...

Pros: pull weeds while standing, sturdy tool
Cons: occasionally the prongs need to be manually cleared of debris

Living in West Texas we have our share of windstorms. Along with all the dirt, tumbleweeds, and debris, the wind also carries with it seeds that I have no intention of growing in my yard. We’ve found Round-Up to be successful for treating weeds....

Pros: Easy to use, makes weeding easy
Cons: Doesn't remove all weeds

Pros: Weed Hound - Wow! Pulling Weeds is Fun!
Cons: None

I purchased the Weed Hound at Home Depot this past weekend and have been using it a lot! The Weed Hound was an impulse buy. I knew it was unnecessary, but I really hate pulling weeds, and gadgets always seem to make these chores , if not pleasant,...

Cons: Can not pull very large weeds in one pull, and the unit sometimes jams

Pros: Easy to use, not too heavy
Cons: None that I can think of

Last March I was watching QVC on television and the "Weed Hound" was being demonstrated. If you don't know what QVC is, it is an "in-home" purchasing program seen on television. It is very convenient to purchase from QVC and this...

Pros: Easy to use, efficient, lightweight
Cons: Can jam up with small rocks

I know some people actually eat these proliferous greens, even make wine out of them. I'd be willing to ingest them if someone were to offer me a plate or glass. But when I see them growing on my tiny lawn, my teeny bit of green heaven here in the...

Pros: Weeds/aerates the lawn simultaneously
Cons: Time consuming depending on how many weeds you have

Since I have a dog who spends a lot of time rolling around on her back in the yard, I didn't like the idea of spraying chemicals to kill weeds - it's just not healthy for her - or for me for that matter. Not that I roll around in the grass.

I...

Pros: simple to use; effective
Cons: plunger can jam on occasion

I bought a house last year with a terrible weed problem. Through the use of the Weed Hound (and chemical treatments), my lawn is now one of the nicest on the block.

I received the Weed Hound as a gift in April. My wife knew how determined I...

Pros: ease of use, inexpensive, fun
Cons: another piece of equipment to store in the shed!

My neighbor showed up with the Weed Hound one afternoon last spring. I have to say that I was skeptical, at best. Just another contraption I thought. She said she bought it at Home Depot for around $30.

We have a small yard. Every year...

Pros: Great dandelion puller
Cons: Has a tough time with the tough weeds

The Florida Pusley was popping up all over my yard. Charlie was in the wire. The Pusley was making a direct attack, and I was being flanked by Dollar weed on both sides. As I surveyed the activity from a safe distance, I decided it might be time to...

Pros: Gets the weeds as promised
Cons: a bit tedious for large areas

I bought this tool after passing it by every time I visited the hardware store and wondering, "Does it really work as well as they show on TV"? Finally I just threw caution to the wind and said "Why not" I bought it.

At...

Pros: Helps the gardener avoid bending and stooping.
Cons: Only works on dandelion-type weeds and not always on them.

I guess I'm a little naive, but I was pretty disappointed when I discovered the product with the all-inclusive name "Weed Hound" really doesn't work on all weeds. In fact, it works only on dandelion-type weeds, and not always on those. The Weed Hound ...

Pros: No chemicals needed to kill weeds.
Cons: Doesn't kill the larger weeds, can be tiring and time consuming to use.

I bought a Weed Hound based on the reviews on Epinions. The Weed Hound works but it isn't the perfect solution you might think the other reviews indicated. For smaller dandelions it's great but for the larger dandelions, it seems the tap root can be ...
