 A couple of tools, one little mattock that I use to chop out the little feathery second growth of the bamboo that's coming up and other weeds that are more woody. It's interesting which weeds, the little tree weeds that are popping up, which ones are easy to pull out by hand and which ones are not. Hackberries are tough. You need to use either a hoary knife or a little mattock like I do, a little hatchet type hoe.
