Spot Treat: This method utilizes post-emergent herbicides to selectively target and destroy a few populations of dandelions growing in your yard. A few herbicide varieties can spot-treat established dandelions by killing the roots. This is the best method to eradicate young dandelion plants before their roots burrow deeper into the ground. Be very cautious when using this method to eradicate dandelions. Some chemical herbicides can damage sensitive grass species, such as St. Augustine grass. So, use herbicide brands that don’t react with your grass species when treating your lawn. For clarification, consult the label instructions that come with the weed killer. You can also spot-treat with hot water. Dousing dandelions with hot water denatures the plant cells to the root, killing the plant. This is a natural and cheaper alternative, but you also need to be careful how you treat it with hot water to avoid burning your grass. The three sharp spikes instead of claws made it one of the greatest dandelion puller tools on the market, which are 2.75-inch steel teeth long enough to go into the deep soil and lift the grassroots effectively.

Choose the Best Dandelion Puller

Having a weed-free garden is a dream for many. While regular pruning of grasses with grass-shears can improve the general aesthetics, dandelion prevention is also important. Let us help you find the best dandelion removal tools with this buying guide to make your dream come true! Why Are Dandelion Removal Tools So Useful? A dandelion can firmly root itself to the ground, so much so that regular lawn mowing will not get rid of them completely. Cutting an inch below the surface won’t cut it either. Like Lernaean Hydra, the famous mythical Greek Monster, you cut one shoot, and another one grows in its place. For a good workout, you must use your dandelion puller properly and maintain the guidelines you are prescribed. Hope you have got a crystal clear concept against your question. Follow the procedure and have a healthy lawn! Final verdict And, when you need to get rid of weeds from your lawn, using herbicides, it’s also very likely to damage the grass.

Selecting a tool with an appropriate handle that can help you minimize your efforts and maximize results. You have the option to choose between two designs: short-handle or long-handle. Short-Handled Dandelion Tools The second, non-organic and more dangerous approach is by using chemicals (usually, herbicide in the form of a spray).The flower head is a slightly paler color than the common dandelion.

Overall given that this model is telescopic, I still feel it’s stands up to the standard version and a super buy – most people seem to take preference with this model over the standard too so makes sense. Once removed you squeeze the lever on the side of the bar to release the tines and you are free of a weed! It has the same niggles as the other models – if you hit stones you damage the tines and the stones can stop the tines (or prongs if you prefer) from engaging and actually grabbing the weed. This is very much a your soil problem, not the tool problem – it’ the limit of any tool in this range of weed pullers and by design can’t be fixed. Pros False dandelion is a perennial weed that’s originally from Eurasia. But it’s now found in most parts of the world, growing in a range of soil conditions. You’ll often find it in grass lawns and fields, beside roads, and in disturbed areas.The handle is part of a combisystem, although I wasn’t able to test this. This means it can be fitted to any other combisystem handle, so you can easily change it if you prefer a longer handle.
