Alaska gardening: By the time you see a dandelion, it has already established a robust root system. When you try to dig it up, you will leave root pieces, each of which will grow into a new plant.
Dandelions grow in the grass on a hill near Kincaid Elementary School in Anchorage on May 18, 2017.
Time have changed. At the very least we have come to accept mowing dandelions down makes one lawn look pretty much like the weed-free one next door. And you can do all the very same things on a dandelion-filled lawn that you can on a weed-free one, though with a clearer conscience about impacts on your health and the environment.
Second, by the time you see a dandelion, it has already established a near-to-impossible-to-get-rid-of root system. When you try to dig it up, you will leave root pieces, each of which will grow into a new plant. Uh, oh. I won’t rant too much about using so-called chemical pesticides. I don’t like them. They don’t like bees and such and I don’t think they are safe. The drift from spraying travels miles. Just read the labels. Incidentally, fall, not now, is when you would spray as this is when the poisons get tied up in the roots and kill them.
