Abstract: A lawn weeder in which the weed lifting prong is thrust downwardly by the foot at right angles from one end of the ground engaging the bottom lifting lever and thrust into the ground beside the weed by foot pressure upon the top of the prong end of the lifting arm and with a fulcrum structure over which the lifting lever is pivoted to effect lifting action of the prong and a curved handle extending upwardly from the rear end of the lifting lever to the waist of the user and a strut depending from the upper end of the handle to the bottom lifting lever to provide a complete quadrant-shaped operating handle. As the curved handle is grasped by the user at the waist height and passed across the front of the body, the weed will be easily lifted without effort and with the user not having to bend his back at any time. A ground-engaging fulcrum means is provided at the prong end of the lifting lever, which by foot pressure applied thereto, the prong is thrust into the ground beside the weed root.
