摘要

A rake (10) for removing weeds (12) with intact roots (14) from the soil (16) comprising an elongate handle (18). A spine (20) has a plurality of tines (22) extending therefrom. A structure (24) is provided for attaching the spine (20) traversely to the elongate handle (18). A crosspiece (26) is provided. A facility (28) is provided for affixing the crosspiece (26) across a rear surface (30) of the tines (22) at a predetermined distance "A" from distal free ends (32) of the tines (22). When the tines (22) enter the soil (16), the crosspiece (26) will engage with the roots (14) of the weeds (12) below grade level (34) to lift the weeds (12) with the intact roots (14) completely out of the soil (16).
