Michigan weeds make maintaining good looking landscapes tough. At Six Michigan Acres we like to limit the use of plant killing chemicals… which means harvesting unwanted growth by hand.

To avoid hours of this manual time-consuming massacred while still removing unwanted weeds, we use a time-tested tool: the hula ho.

A real weapon against weeds, the hula ho cuts weeding time in half while easing the strain on your hands, knees, and back.

Standing up, you place the tool near an unwanted plant, add downward pressure, and push-pull the blade. Within seconds, the weed is history. After a while, the ground is clear. No chemicals needed. Cool!

But, what if the weeds are growing beneath small stones, rocks, or other decorative (read difficult to keep clear) landscaping?

No problem. I attacked weeds at our fire pit where the ground is made up of small, hard, sharp-edged stones. Imagine clearing this type of ground cover on your hands and knees?

The hula ho performed perfectly. Here’s the before and after pictures:

The entire weed-removal job took just 30 minutes with no dirty hands, gnarled up knees, or aching back. Thank you hula ho!
