Aarrgghh! Candelions all over my lawn!

[Chemical Ollie]

These little yellow flowers are the weed of the Devil. Evolution (EVILution) has worked well for those suckers. They spawn like nothing else and keep coming back if you don't pull them up by the root. If you run them over with the lawnmover, they grow back in a short flat formation along the ground so that they won't be cut again. The only way to get rid of them is to pick them one by one and cut the root with a special tool. If I don't pick them before the flower is fully developed, they will spread their seeds all over and take over the place. And there are 1000's in my garden.



Crappy webcam pic but you get the idea.

you can poison them with weed and feed, kills the weeds and feeds the lawn

Get a goat.

Solution: A Goat

[SlowwHand]

You're lucky.

At first reading the title, I was afraid you had Canadians all over your lawn.
Now THAT would be a problem.

[Hydey]

the goat is for the canadians

[SlowwHand]

Hearty goats, and deserving of praise.

[Chemical Ollie]

Perhaps I should try to capture and train one of the deers that regularly visit my garden and teach it how to eat Candelions instead of tulips?

[Chemical Ollie]

I told the goat idea to my wife. She said I would have to pick goat crap on a daily basis instead.

You could make goat milk cheese, sell it and with the proceeds hire a guy to do that for you.

Or you could just live with the dandelions. They're quite pretty actually.

Dandelion, not candelion. I like to see dandelions, just not too many. It lets me know they aren't poisoning the neighborhood with lawn chemicals. Plus, a few give the lawn character.

Get yourself a trowel and get out there and pull thse suckers up. Save the greens. You can make a salad out of them.
