My "resting" garden plot has been invaded by several dozen
tree-like
dandelions. Inattentive maintainance allowed this. At first I
dug
the buggers up individually but the roots are 18-20" deep.
Worse,
those that I have managed to dig out successfully show
off-shooters
from broken or missed pieces.

I don't want to start throwing down my consumer-grade agent
orange
but it's now reached epidemic proportions. My plot looks like
I'm
cultivating the yellow buds for commercial distribution
throughout
my neighborhood. Is there a way of ridding my garden area of
these
pests without resorting to chemical purfication?

Many thanks.

"Tree like"? Are you sure they're not sow thistles?

I'll snap a digital and post the link later today. I'm 99% certain
they're dandelions. (I have two sow thistles in another portion of
the yard.)
