We all know Ragwork is the devil to remove - anyone used one of these, I am wondering if they work on the little rosettes, if not the bigger ones?
Ragwort - ‘grandpa weeded’ any good?

I used one briefly - broke after a few uses.
Will largely depend on your soil (I'm on chalk and flint), but it just did not cope at all.
Nothing beats a ragwort fork.

I've used it at home on dandelions. It's not that great. I can't imagine it working on ragwort.

I think one of the original rag forks is the best thing

I keep getting adverts for these in SM’s. Good to hear it’s a load of crap before I got tempted

I’ve used one for some years but it’s broken now. It worked well if the ground is soft.

Best thing for little rosettes is a claw hammer.

I think I would snap that within minutes with our rocky clay soil. The standard rag fork is very good but I use an old meat carving fork for the very little ones.
Don't forget to generously sprinkle salt in the hole to kill off any tiny bits of root left behind.

Mine worked well until the plastic foot snapped which wasn't long after I bought it. I find the 'proper' three tine ragfork better than the copy four tined ones.
