Abstract: A rotating weed removal device includes an elongate rod with a plurality of tines extending through and loosely retained in a plurality of apertures disposed at the lower end of the rod in spaced apart relation, such that each of the tines is free to rotate within the aperture through which the tine extends, but is retained in the aperture by bends in the outer ends of each tine. In use, the upper end of the rod is connected to a rotary drive means, such as a cordless drill motor, the lower end of the rod is placed on the soil adjacent to a weed to be removed, the drive means is activated, and downward pressure is applied to cause the rotating rod to penetrate the soil and the revolving tines to engage and loosen the roots of the weed by winding the roots into the tines, allowing the weed to be easily lifted from the soil with roots substantially intact.
