Ground elder has few requirements when it comes to soil, water, and light. It literally shades out all the delicate little plants, making it a troublesome weed in garden beds. Because it is undemanding and has many underground runners, it is difficult to control. When weeding ground elder, you should not simply tear off the roots, but dig them out and remove as many as possible. This approach saves a lot of work over the gardening season.
Ground elder is also a tasty wild vegetable and a medicinal herb. Eaten raw, it tastes like parsley; when cooked, it is reminiscent of spinach.

The handle

The handle is made of ash wood and ergonomically shaped, making it especially comfortable to hold and helping to make the work easier. Its rounded back allows for particularly effortless use. Ash, a valuable raw material, grows throughout much of Europe, especially in the northern Alpine foothills, and is one of the most important hardwoods. The wood is very dense and hard, yet its high elasticity makes it easy to work with. Thanks to its excellent mechanical properties, ash is ideal for high-quality garden and outdoor tools. It is strong and durable, and pleasant to the touch. The wood is varnished to protect it better against moisture and dirt.



The weeder

The weeder is made of hand-forged Swedish steel, which is exceptionally durable and robust thanks to its special treatment. Its pointed shape penetrates deep into the soil and delivers precise results from the very first attempt.
