The invention relates to a finger weeding tool (14) for a soil cultivation device, having at least one finger (4), and to a method for mechanically fighting weeds in row plantings, wherein, because at least one finger (4) has at least one means for holding and/or transporting away loose materials (e.g., soil, sand, stones), the input of loose materials into the row or the removal of loose materials from the row is enabled, whereby strongly rooted weeds can be fought in addition to the weakly rooted weeds.
