How many times have
you tried to pull up a
weed, only to watch it
snap off at soil level and
eventually regrow? The
Angle Weeder severs
weeds underground, so
when you pull them up,
you get roots and all.
Available in both left- and

GOTCHA COVERED
To help bulbs rebloom year after year, it’s important to let
their leaves wither naturally. Fading foliage is unattractive,
but if you plant bulbs among perennials and annuals, these
plants will grow in to conceal the dying bulb leaves, as in
these “before” and “after” shots,
above,
from the Better
Homes and Gardens Test Garden®. To ensure rebloom, bulbs
mus t be“naturalizers,” which is stated on labels.
