Default Wolf Weed Extractor

"Aidan Whitehall" wrote in message
...
I'm looking for something to remove dandelions from a lawn without having

to
use Chemicals. I've seen the Wolf Weed Extractor
http://www.wolftools.co.uk/fulldetail.asp?ID=IWA
and it's exactly what I'm after, although this article

http://www.carryongardening.org.uk/p...weed_extractor
says that it leaves large holes in your lawn.

Is it possible to use one on a lawn without this happening? Or do you know
of a similar tool that works in the same way that doesn't make such a

large
hole?

Thanks

I use a fork and lift the lawn to get out the whole dandelion root. Then
tread on the lawn to flatten it again. You can only do this when the lawn
is fairly damp though.
