Tired of fighting dandelions that have taken over your lawn or garden, but want to stay away from harsh chemical weed killers?
Harsh chemicals are probably a good choice. However, they can be really harmful to the environment.
What are dandelions
A plant from the Asteraceae family, a spring pollen and honey plant.
Dandelion is called by many names: empty-blower, dandelion, cannon, powder puff, milk jug, milk pail, bald one, etc.
How to get rid of dandelion
Dandelion roots are strong and penetrate deep into the soil, so getting rid of them with natural solutions is an easy and effective way to keep your garden looking great.
Pulling Dandelions
Pulling dandelions with your hands is the best way to get rid of them forever.
Water the soil, grasp the dandelions tightly near the roots and pull the plant out of the soil.
Try to remove as much of the root as possible, which can reach up to 30 cm.
Removing the dandelion roots is the key to preventing the plant from growing back.
Pouring boiling water
Hot water kills dandelions quickly. Heat a pot of water and carefully pour it over the dandelion. The boiling water will kill the plant and it will die on its own.
Be careful not to let water get on surrounding plants - you may end up damaging them.
This method is a quick solution to temporarily get rid of any pesky dandelions.
