| The finger weeder has several long-springed tines in a comb-like formation that vibrate in the soil to disturb the soil surface. |
| Crop stage is more critical for the finger weeder than the rotary hoe because of its stronger action. |
| Both the rotary hoe and the finger weeder perform best on fields with little or no surface residue. |
| Choose an area freshly and properly prepared or in-depth decompacted by a trailing-tooth tool of the ripper or weeder type. |
| Elly Hess, the original optimist at Edgewood, is now a legendary figure in weeder folklore. |
| Flax is known to be a difficult crop to finger weed and so the weeder was set to be less aggressive. |
