I have a large lawn which is full of Dandelions ...
What is the best way of removing them apart from forking them out
which doesn't always get all the root anyway!


What you need is a proper dandelion "grubber". It's a long blade on a
handle that you poke in beside the root and it comes our with a
satisfactorily long root, leaving a little hole which will soon grow
over. A nice relaxing job for a sunny afternoon when you have nothing
else to do!!!

A 10 or 12" screwdriver is more useful in lots of other DIY applications
and will also prise dandelions out of lawns root and all. The holes can
be filled with sharp sand to improve drainage.
