I'm trying to find a natural organic remedy for dandelions. Any tips?

Yes, a 9" dandelion remover is 100% percent organic.

How to Kill Dandelions: Pulling Them

* To facilitate removal, water the lawn first (weeds are more easily extricated from wet soil).
* Make an incision into the soil, down along the side of the dandelion taproot, using a 9inch thin troul, screwdriver or similar tool (tools designed specifically for dandelion removal can be found in home improvement stores).
* Wiggle the tool to loosen the dandelion taproot
* Using the ground as a fulcrum, try to pry up the dandelion weed. Get a good grip on the dandelion leaves (as many of them as you can close your hand over) and use them as your "handle" on which to tug.
* Give the dandelion weed a gentle tug to see if the taproot is yielding.
* If the taproot is yielding, remove the dandelion weed from the soil. Otherwise, make further incisions around the taproot, wiggle and continue to tug gently at the dandelion leaves.

I have not found anything more organic that this...



This is one of the best tools for me, any garden center sells weeding tools just like it.

I will give you a tip, make sure you exercise both arms ;)

Good Luck
