Dandelions are weeds that quietly conquer new space, but at the same time delight the eye with their flowering. But you shouldn't relax.

Still, the plant spreads quickly and is difficult to remove. Many gardeners resort to chemicals for this, but there is no need to rush. There is a more harmless method of fighting weeds.

As experienced gardeners note, regular mowing with a lawn mower has a negative effect on plants, and they become weaker over time.

You can also dig up plants by the roots.

Some people recommend using salt on the plot to remove the young plant. But this method is quite dangerous for the soil and will not help get rid of the adult weed.

You can shade them with thick dark film or mulch. As a result, the dandelions will stop receiving sunlight and their growth will stop.

Many gardeners have noticed the good effect of vinegar on weeds. It is enough to dilute it with water in a ratio of 1 to 1, and then spray it on the plants.
