How Do I Kill Dandelions?

Dandelions have been called Irish daisies, swine's snout and yellow gowan. In most instances dandelions have been considered to be universal garden pests.

The safest removal technique is organic. Simply wet the soil, dig around the weed and pry the dandelion lose from the ground. But it is important to pull out the entire root from the ground because even a small bit left behind will result in the weed growing all over again. Another simple technique is to cover the dandelion with a cardboard box. It will die of sunlight starvation.

There are certain herbicides which can be used to weed out the dandelions. Vinegar is a natural herbicide; the ascetic acid kills the root. But vinegar could kill plants that are located close to the dandelions. There are commercially available herbicides that will not harm the other plants if it comes in contact with them. If nothing works, then set the dandelion on fire, this will completely annihilate the plant.
