Burgon & Ball Super Slice – High-Efficiency Double-Action Large Surface Weeder The Burgon & Ball Super Slice is the heavy-duty evolution of the acclaimed Weed Slice, engineered specifically for rapid maintenance of large garden areas. Hand-forged in Sheffield, this tool features an expansive 23.5cm "winged" head that cuts through weed roots on both the push and pull strokes. Its low-profile, horizontal action is designed to glide just beneath the soil surface, making it uniquely compatible with weed control membranes and contemporary landscaping finishes like slate chips and gravel. Best For: Gardeners managing large allotments, expansive vegetable beds, or modern landscapes with gravel and membranes who want to clear surface weeds with maximum speed and zero back strain. Key Features Extra-Wide 23.5cm Winged Head: The substantial width allows you to clear large areas of weeds in a fraction of the time required by standard hoes or hand tools. High-Speed Push-Pull Performance: Sharpened on both leading and trailing edges to cut on every motion, effectively doubling your productivity while reducing physical effort. Membrane-Safe Horizontal Action: Because the blade moves horizontally just below the surface, it can be safely used over weed control fabrics without snagging or tearing the membrane. Hand-Forged Sheffield Steel: Crafted from hardened and tempered high-carbon steel in the historic Sheffield factory, ensuring professional-grade strength and a razor-sharp edge that lasts. Back-Friendly FSC® Handle: The long, polished FSC® certified handle is designed to allow the gardener to remain upright, completely eliminating the need for stooping and preventing backache. Enhanced Soil Health: Minimal soil disturbance means fewer dormant weed seeds are brought to the surface to germinate, while moisture is better retained within the earth.
