Dave, 8 foot piece of electrical conduit and a kids rake from Lowes. I bolted it onto the end of the conduit and went at it. It's small enuff to get between the rows I did it with a hoe too.

And I know a lot of growers saw this being used in a well known patch before with the long extendable handle: http://www.bluestonegarden.com/push_pull-weeder-rfm.html
