In your viral videoCamila (@camilasalha) filmed the unidentified man as he demonstrated his unique technique.

Instead of cutting the weeds, the man used a household item to remove them from his garden.

Using a cordless Dyson vacuum, he sucked up the wilted heads of each weed.

“I bet Dyson USA didn’t expect this,” Camila wrote in the clip’s caption, tagging the company.

“Narrator: We actually didn’t expect that,” replied the famous vacuum cleaner manufacturers.

Camila joked that the neighbor asked the brand not to cancel the guarantee for the unusual activity.

TikTok users shared their thoughts on the weeding tip in the comments section.

“This looks like one of those activities you do when the police are at your neighbor’s house,” one viewer wrote.

“Honestly, a very ecological way to take care of the problem”, pointed out another follower.

“Without chemicals, the plant still decomposes to create more organic matter in the soil. Win-win.”

“The definition of work is smarter, not harder,” commented a third person.

Others have pointed out that dandelions are essential for attracting pollinators.

“Dandelions are the first food of the year for bees. It’s good to have them on the lawn,” said one TikTok user.

“We need to normalize dandelions. [They have] so many health benefits. It is a good source of food for pollinators. No pollinators, no food crops,” another person pointed out.

“Just release them when you’re done. Get that pollinator garden,” suggested one viewer.

How to get rid of weeds

Tony Williams is the property manager for Mount Ephraim Country House & Gardens in the UK.

He revealed to The US Sun the best organic remedies to get rid of weeds.

Mixture of two ingredients: “Mix four liters of vinegar, 250 grams of salt and a tablespoon of soap to obtain a potent herbicide,” he said.

Lemon juice: “Whether freshly squeezed or bottled, lemon juice is a simple and natural herbicide,” he revealed.

Boiling water: “Pouring boiling water on weeds can kill them instantly without damaging nearby plants,” he said.

Diluted alcohol: “Spray this solution on the weeds to induce water loss and effectively kill them,” he said.

Manual harvesting: “Focus on removing them early, especially the notorious ones like dandelions, to prevent the seeds from spreading,” he said.

The experts in Rent Mason Bees detailed the benefits of the flower.

“In early spring, dandelions serve as a primary food source for bees and other pollinators as they emerge after winter,” they explained.

“Being among the first flowers to bloom, dandelions play a crucial role in providing essential nectar to bees.”

Professionals added that dandelions provide nectar for more than 100 species of insects and feed more than 30 species of other wildlife.

“Their presence alone attracts and sustains several key species in the local ecosystem, which in turn pollinate fruits, vegetables and herbs,” they said.
