Weeding ring

A weeding ring usually refers to a type of gardening or landscaping tool or accessory that helps prevent weeds from growing close to plants, trees, or shrubs.

Here are the two common meanings:

🌱 1. Weeding ring as a protective mat or collar
• It is a circular mat or ring (often made of felt, rubber, plastic, or coir) placed around the base of a tree, shrub, or plant.
• It blocks sunlight to the soil around the plant’s base, suppressing weed growth while letting water through.
• It also helps retain soil moisture and can protect the stem or trunk from damage by lawn mowers or trimmers.

🌱 2. Weeding ring as a tool
• Sometimes, the term is used for a small hand-held tool shaped like a ring with a sharp edge or wire that you wear on your finger.
• You scrape the soil around plants with it to cut or pull out weeds.
