Does anyone have any ideas on getting rid of dandelions in your yard. We bought some type of spray to use on them in Walmart, but they have come back.

The Dandelion Terminator is so fast and easy to use it's even fun.

Get a weed popper. It is essentially a 4 pronged fork very strong with tines about the diameter of a pencil round and pointed. It has a handle about 3 feet long. And is hinged to the popper. You place it by hand behind the weed then use your foot to stomp the fork under the weed and it will pop out.
It works perfectly almost every weed. It is amazing how long the roots of dandilions in particular are.

Leave them where they are and enjoy them.

I always heard the only way to really get rid of them is by getting the root & all. Use a long handled flat-edge screwdriver & dig down deep enough to loosen the root & pull. Takes a little effort but Hey! at least you'll have a good excuse to go out & enjoy the pretty weather & get some fresh air & exercise. Besides, I've grown to like the little jewels of nature and to co-exist peacefully with them, in my older age! : )

The only thing I've found that was successful is the Weed Hound and a lot of work! The Weed Hound can usually be found at garden centers, such as WalMart, etc. Of course, they'll come back next year, so you have to do it all over again; however, it is possible to get rid of them for one year at the time.

I've heard that vinegar works but I like boiling water. It cooks the little buggers.
