Our backyard is full of dandelions because the previous owners did not bother to extract them. I bought a weed extractor and got to work.
The problem
One of the worst offenders
The solution
The tip is pushed into the soil around the root of the plant.
Look at that nasty root.
It will take a few weeks to cut down on the population to any significant degree but it will be done.
Hi markku. Will be worth the effort once it's done.

Wouldnt it be faster or easier to use chemicals to kill them, than manually?

Sure, if such chemicals that only killed dandelions existed. I don't want to risk killing the lawn.

I am not sure if there is a chemical that can selectively kill dandelions without affecting other surrounding plants. Then the manual uprooting might just be your best bet.

Hi markku ... Hey what things life has. In your home and country this plant is a bad boil (bush) and here the older ladies (my mom) have them in their homes to use them as medicine for many things since it has vitamins and healing powers against diabetes, amorroids, digestive tract, Kidney problems and many other diseases. Good luck with your yard friend. regards

Okay I am sold. I want one. The way you present the problem with dandelion then come up with this special tool to get rid of them is very convincing for me. I want to have one eventhough I don't have dandelion in my backyard. 😂

Oh come on, they aren't so ugly, maybe leave some @markkujantunen it's not like they're triffids.Anyway if you decide to remove them all, there will be a more efficient method, perhaps in the chemical branch, or do not want to use that type of product near home?

I can't help but leave not just some but a lot of them. To my knowledge, there are no chemicals capable of killing only them.
