I use a half inch chisel, which digs the roots up without it breaking. Then put a few grass seeds in the hole you have made and stamp on it. I find it therapy dealing with the mothers.

I think the generally accepted remedy is to go to a grden centre and buy somehting to "weed and feed" your lawn. There are chemicals which encourage grass to grow, but kill all weeds in grass. I have used it successfully for years. You put it on with a watering can.

Go to the garden center and get a dandelion digger. Most care them. In the fall you can do a weed'n' feed.

What you need is a translocated herbicide
basically a glyphosate based weed killer which biodegrades quickly too
therefore not damaging to the enviroment
Only apply it with a very small brush as it will kill anything green it touches
good luck

it's a long process, but not worse than digging....
go to a feed supply store and buy a large syringe.. Put your weed killer in the syringe and inject into the center of each dandylion plant. Worked for me!

cut your grass a little higher and it will choke them out, people cut their yards far too short, then a shot of vinigar right on them to polish them off! HAHA death to the capitolist pig dandilion!!! oops sorry...But I think the taller grass will help, Taste Death imperial dandilion!

Equal parts orange oil & 20% vinegar in a sprayer. This will kill
everything so be careful.

Why would you want to kill such lovely flowers? Just pick the heads and overnight them to me... Nothing finer than dandelion wine
