A device for removing plants with roots from the soil having spikes attached at the lower end of a shaft and a trigger mechanism located at the upper end. The spikes are shielded by a cover having holes alignable with the spikes. A rod extending down the interior of the shaft is attached to both the cover and the trigger mechanism. When the trigger mechanism is pulled, the rod and cover are pulled upward which exposes the spikes. When the trigger mechanism is released, a spring mechanism pushes the cover over the spikes.

A device for removing plants with roots from the soil, said device having a distal end and a proximal end and comprising: (a) a shaft having a linear axis and a central bore; (b) a plurality of spikes attached near said distal end of said device and extending toward said distal end in parallel to said linear axis; (c) a trigger mechanism near said proximal end of said device; (d) a cover having holes alignable with said spikes, said cover having a distal inner surface; (e) a spring mechanism contiguous with said inner surface; and (f) an elongated rod extending axially in said central bore and attached at a first end to said trigger mechanism and at a second end to said cover; wherein when said trigger mechanism is actuated, said cover is pulled toward said proximal end, said spring mechanism is compressed, and said spikes are exposed, and when said trigger mechanism is released, said spring mechanism pushes against said inner surface and said cover moves distally over said spikes.
