Goathead Roller-If you have Goat Heads watch this!  

You can make sure you have rolled up all the goat heads; simply by walking are running barefoot in the area you removed the goat heads!

by the grace of the good Lord, we're only fighting sticker burrs, NOT goatheads, here on the homestead. When i was in middle school (1964-65), our school was fairly new, way out on the edge of town, and "groundskeepers" were a thing of the distant future. So, there WERE goatheads on the playground, and I quickly grew to hate them! Great tool you have there. I was hoping to see you set that pile of weeds on fire! Over the three summers since we moved out to our small town acreage place, I've used a round nose shovel to dig up hundreds, if not thousands of sticker burr plants, but I put them into the compost heap on the promise that they will be eventually turned into soil. Still digging, and plan to get a roller to help pick up the seeds.

they root under and pop up in other places. you have to get the main root up from each one, or they keep coming back.

Someone needs to come up with an idea of what those GOATHEADS could be used for. That way, they will disappear!!!! 😁 .

Good tools. Good video. However, you have to admire the enemy...prolific, seeds endure for years, seem to kill competitors via root chemicals or competion. But, they can be defeated. Eliminate untended/ bare ground. Irrigate. Plant. Spray.

How do you recommend disposing of them to prevent them from spreading seeds and growing somewhere else?

Just ordered mine!

But the roots "runner" under ground, making them difficult to pull. You still need an herbicide applied a few times to get rid of the plants. You shouldn't burn them because of the running roots being a fire hazard.

Are viney goat heads edible? Sticker grass goat heads are...

We call them Texas sandburrs here, or puncture vines.

Brilliant 😂

I wish sand spurs were vines.

Does this work on grassy lawns? I live in a suburb smack dab in ag country, and we get tons of these little bastards in our lawn. The number coming off our dogs, you'd swear we had a property like yours lol.

Does this work to pick up grass burrs or sandburs?

Have these in my front yard and I want them gone

I'm unable to find a link.
