So we put all this poison into the environment to kill a native plant with a pretty yellow flower. That's nonsense if you ask me. Kentucky Blue Grass is the real invader.... unless its in Kentucky of course. whistle

You put up one of two signs, depending on your neighbourhood. Either:

U-Pick Dandelion Farm: Free Picking on Weekdays

or

Dandelion Farm: Please do not steal

Brightens up the yard, and you can mow just before they hit the seed stage.

Seriously? You OBVIOUSLY don't have the Carolina broadleaf variety. They will literally spread to over 1 foot in diameter, before long there is ZERO grass and nothing but the boardleaf's.

Perfect! Then no need to mow. Lawns are overrated anyway.

Since I started beekeeping and getting my own raw honey, dandelions in my yard get a pass.


Lunatic fringe....we all know you're out there.

Steelhead,

You didn't include the rest of my response to that:

"I guess not. Ours don't get that large or invasive. Just scattered plants.
Just regular mowing keeps them pretty much in check.

If I had yours, I might be putting on some 2,4D."

I have a new pump and spray bar for the 4-wheeler. It is going to be weed Armageddon tomorrow around the farmyard.

Every year we end up with gallons of various uber-nasty chemicals left over from crop spraying. I know basically zero about the different sprays but am thinking LV6 or Outlaw?

Sam,

"Every year we end up with gallons of various uber-nasty chemicals left over from crop spraying."

I assume that you keep the leftovers for the next year. Most of them will keep just fine until the next season.

The only one that I remember had a label that said it could 'freeze below 42 degrees' was a surfactant, and I don't know if it would be useable again once it warmed up.

Thought we had the perfect solution when one of our two dogs developed a taste for dandelion heads. Unfortunately, the little twerp now prefers them AFTER they've gone to seed.

Fiskars ... this company makes some great tools. Including axes, garden tools and a dandelion puller tool.
