5. I don't spray weeds. Allergic to a lot of the products.

I have a weed hound that grabs them by the root so they can't come back at least.

My grand kids like to use it, 10 cents a weed usually gets about 20-30 pulled for the youngest.

I'd probably have to raise it to 25 cents to get the older ones to do it still.
