The Extractigator

Our local birds and squirrels frequently plant hackberry and pecan trees where we do NOT want them in our gardens. Whenever I can, I pull them when they're seedlings and easy to yank. But a lot go unnoticed and keep growing. Then James has to dig them out with a shovel. Ugh! Last year, Jerry S., a fellow Master Naturalist, recommended this gadget. I finally got around to ordering one last month. Yesterday our new Extractigator Junior arrived from Canada. We put it right to work....


Our first hackberry....



Success!
 


Our biggest hackberry!

Thanks for your post--I plan to order one because my woodland areas are chock full of unwanted saplings!
