If you don't fancy using weed killer on your Dandelions, you will be pleased to learn that the best method to remove them is by hand-pulling
. The expert has explained the method to help us keep our lawns dandelion-free and looking their best.Nilufer said:"Dandelions are a common weed that can be found in most lawns. They have long taproots and bright yellow flowers, and they spread quickly if left unchecked. Over time, dandelions can take over your lawn and make it look untidy."
The expert said the hand-pulling method involves using a small gardening fork or trowel to dig around and underneath the dandelion root before pulling out the entire plant. It ensures the entire root system is removed, preventing it from growing back, according to Nilufer. Using a small tool, such as a trowel, allows you to dig deep 'without damaging the roots of other surrounding plants', but you should wear gloves and throw away the dandelions 'far away from your lawn' to preventHowever, if you have a dandelion infestation over a large area, it may be worth trying natural alternatives; this includes mulching or boiling water, as mulch can 'smother existing dandelions' and prevent regrowth.
You could also pour boiling water directly onto the dandelions, and 'the heat will kill both the plant and its root system'. It helps break down the weed's structure, is cost-effective, and doesn't add harmful chemicals to the lawn or garden. Dandelions are seriously annoying, but who would've thought such a simple tactic could be so effective? Have you got any other gardening titbits you'd like to share with our readers?
