Skip’s Homemade Weed Wiper

By Skip Richter, Hortculturist & Host of GardenLine Radio on KTRH 740

This homemade weed wiper is an effective tool for applying a post emergence herbicide to individual weeds without damaging nearby plants. It is made from a “grabber tool” with suction cups, used to grab objects that are out of reach.

It can be used to treat weeds in garden beds and lawns, or to apply a grass killer to grassy weeds that grow taller than the turfgrass. For a list of products to control various types of weeds using a weed wiper, visit this link.
