Dandelions may seem like beautiful plants. But all summer residents understand perfectly well that dandelion is a dangerous weed that must be dealt with immediately, because it absorbs useful components from the soil and actively grows.

Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to fight dandelions.
What methods of struggle exist?
In modern realities, you can find dozens of methods to combat dandelions. For example, you can use chemicals, "extinguish" dandelions with fertilizer, and use other methods.
And what really shows its effectiveness? Many will be surprised, but the usual removal of dandelions by hand is the most effective method that exists at the moment.
Why Manual Removal Is the Best Way
When fighting dandelions, it is necessary to completely remove the taproots. Even if part of the root system remains, dandelions will continue to spread on the site. If you remove them from the soil manually, you can get rid of them once and for all.
How to Properly Remove Dandelions
It is important to adhere to the basic condition: the soil must be moist. Trying to pull plants out of dry soil is definitely not the best idea, since part of the root system will remain.
It is better to start removing after rain, when the soil is still damp. You can also moisten the soil with a watering can and wait a few minutes until the moisture is completely absorbed.
There is no more effective method at the moment. It is better for every summer resident to spend time on such a method of their removal, although it may seem more complicated.
