Default Organic weed control

Hello everyone

I am minded to try gardening organically in my new garden. If I'm brutally
honest, I'm not sure I completely know why I want to do so, but if nothing
else it sounds like a challenge. I'd be interested to hear some thoughts on
the pros and cons of organic gardening.

Now I'm not planning to be a complete organic fascist. If some problem
arises which is a bugger to solve by organic methods but can be easily
solved by some nice little spray of something decidedly non-organic, then
I'll probably make an exception.

I think I may have hit my first such problem, namely keeping the weeds in my
lawn under control. The dandelions are doing particularly well at the
moment. My question is are there any organic methods of controlling them,
short of digging each one up individually?

Many thanks for any suggestions

Adam
