    Dandelions......you can always pick the tender leaves when they are about 5cm long and make them into a salad (with homemade vinaigrette dressing etc). I like mind with a handful of freshly fried bacon and crouton....if you keep doing this, the root will starve itself trying to rejenerate the leaves and bob's your uncle, it will desappear.

    I have loads too! For the ones on my lawn I use Evergreen Complete as it feeds the lawn too, for the ones on the path/driveway I use Weedol

    Firstly, pick all the flowers before they seed otherwise they'll spread.

    Then buy some Glyphosate weedkiller. It comes with a brush so you paint it on the leaves. The plant takes the glyphosate down into its roots and the whole plant is killed off.

    Glyphosate is commonly sold as the weedkiller "Roundup"
