Working on my grip strength so I can better rip weeds out of the lawn

@LordOfTheKangs Pulling weeds is what strengthens your grip.

@DC5FAN I need extra forearm strength for a Bermuda Grass infestation. Those roots go a foot deep at the center node

@LordOfTheKangs Is that like crabgrass?

@DC5FAN Its grass that grows like a fern, but really close to the ground. It snakes underneath actual grass so you cant hit it with a lawnmower. Every 6 inches or so the vines drop to the ground and root again before growing out with more vines. I yanked a full run from a single plant today and it weighed over 10 pounds. The root ball at the center was enormous.

@LordOfTheKangs Wow. You know what you are doing. Pulling weeds takes skill and practice.

@DC5FAN Not even claiming im right or know what im doing, but the infestation was hit with roundup at the end of winter and brand new growth came out of all the dead areas. Everywhere I've pulled with my hands has had extremely slow regrowth. Its working so I want to be stronger and pull more of the roots out.

It's the only way to get Bermuda out. Not to mention round up is gay. Pretty satisfying getting Bermuda up but fuck is it pervasive

@SmidgePierce @DC5FAN Totally. Picking up a little node and finding out its the end of an entire vine and getting the entire thing out is like... scratching an itch on your back you cant reach.
When all those hook tips come out of the soil intact its like getting an immigrant housing complex raided by ICE.
No more herbicides are getting laid down now that im in charge of this lawn btw.

@LordOfTheKangs @SmidgePierce I'm with you. Everyone thinks I'm insane spending hours pulling weeds but I like it.

@DC5FAN @LordOfTheKangs @SmidgePierce I have to pull weeds tomorrow, sad
