Hard to have a nice yard, when neighbors have a Dandelion Nursery!
Did you know that every part of the Dandelion is edible? Yep, the roots, the stalks, the leaves and the flowers. Some people even say they have medical uses. But yet, we have been conditioned to hate them and think of them as a nuisance.
Back when I was much younger, and still had cable, I went along with the programming (aka marketing) and dutifully dumped the recommended chemicals on my lawn thinking I was being a good homeowner, and that it was a worthwhile use of my time and money. I don’t begrudge anyone who goes along with this stuff, but I for one no longer do. I still mow my grass as needed, but do I care if there are dandelions or other weeds in my lawn? Hell no.
