Default [IBC] Dandelions as bonsai - was Dormancy for Kingswood Yardsai

In one of John Naka's books he discusses what to do
with dandelions as bonsai.

I had on for a number of years. Dug an established
plant, with long root. Coiled root in pot, the
following year(s) I started exposing the root until
quite a bit was exposed. The twisting was part of the
display. You have to be careful not to expose root
with too much taper or the thing will fall over. With
trimming, you can get multiple heads. Mine bit the
dust when the sprinkling system went bad.
