Homemade Onion Weeder Demonstrated in American Agriculturist
A new homemade onion weeder by Fred F. Meeker of Fairchester County Conn is pictured in the American Agriculturist. Built from an old hand cultivator the device uses two wheels straddling a row with two broad teeth and wings to lift dirt and pull weeds while a small wing works near the plants. The width adjusts by a clamp on the handle and the machine works close to the row taking out nearly all weeds except those growing in line with the onions.
