Q: I have seen the volunteers at DeKalb County’s Kittredge Park using a tool you loaned them to rip privet bushes out of the ground. Where did you get that wonderful instrument?

A: I got the WeedWrench from www.weedwrench.com. As you saw, it grabs a bush at the base and converts a hearty tug into a mighty uprooting. They are heavy duty tools, perfect for dealing with bushes and small trees that offend you.
