I'm pretty sure it should be other way round so the metal bar cuts the weeds behind the spikes

On wet soil.... Why?... And why were you using it upside down?

As others have said, you were using it upside down. The bar is designed to run beneath the soil surface and cut through the weed roots. I've had one for years (not made by Wolf) and it's the best tool in my shed.

@@daispatrick I have a slightly different take on how the tool works. I inherited mine from my father-in-law who died in 1979 and, although I said above that it was not made by Wolf, it could have been one of their very early models with a fixed handle. Anyway, below is my take on how it works. The clever part of the tool is the cutting blade which has a mechanism that allows the blade to swing back and forth as it travels through the soil. When the tool is pushed forward, the blade tilts to around 30 degrees to the horizontal so that it drives into the soil. When the tool is pulled back, the blade tilts 30 degrees in the opposite direct so that in drives into the soil on its return journey too. The tool is so light that the spikes make hardly any impression on their own account. They only crumble the soil AFTER it has been sliced through by the cutting blade, whereupon repeated forward and backward movements produce a beautiful tilth. If you are lucky enough to garden on light soil, then the tool can be used one-handed. However, I garden on clay soil which tends to develop a hard pan surface after a rainy spell. It is then necessary to apply mild downward pressure onto the handle with your other hand to ensure that the blade penetrates the soil and doesn't simply skim over the surface. As far as weeds are concerned, it is probably best first to dig out any weeds that have a long taproots (such as docks), because they will simply regrow from the deep part of the severed taproot. I suspect that this is what you were saying above, @daispatrick. However, weeds with more-superficial roots aren't any problem because the blade of the tool tends to run beneath the roots leaving the weed lying on the surface with roots exposed - the weed soon dying once the roots dry out. Yes, you can kill off your weeds with glyphosate, but this tool leaves a beautiful tilth into the bargain and there is no risk of any spray drifting onto your lawn or shrubs. I can only repeat that this is the best garden tool that I own, and it had done sterling work for me in a garden of around one acre for more than 40 years. Every gardener should own one!

I’m glad I witnessed how this tool clumps up. I wouldn’t buy this tool. I’m sure it works a treat for a sandy loam. I don’t think it would work well for a clay soil.

I garden in the Chilterns on heavy clay with lots of stones and flints. I have one of these and it works very well, particularly at this time of year when I am creating a fine tilth on my soil in preparation for sowing and planting.

You might think the Yorkshire Gardener is a clown. It's really embarrassing. Please make the video again and turn the milling machine the right way round.
