You can use the leaves as salad greens, use the roots as a coffee substitute
and can even make wine from the flowers.

Soon spring will be here, as will my yellow sea of dandelions. To be
honest,
I really haven't tried very hard to get rid of them. I live next to a
field
that is full of wildflowers (which I quite enjoy), and I had always
assumed
that any attempt I made to rid my lawn of weeds would be nullified by
seeds
from the field next door ending up on my lawn.However, in an attempt to be
neighbourly, I thought I'd try this year to at least get a start on
controlling the dandelions. I really do not want to use chemical
fertilizers, so I am looking for an organic solution. Any suggestions
would
be appreciated.

Thanks
