    This year my lawn has got loads, I would say its too many to dig out.

    Can anyone reccomend a treatment that works as there are so many on the market.
    Hi Claire

    I'm not a great fan of chemicals in my garden but when it comes to dandelions I make an exception - despite owning a rabbit ....

    The only lawn weedkiller I have ever found to work is Verdone extra, you can buy it from any of the DIY shops for about £4.50 and you only treat the lawn once.

    Use a syringe from a computer printer ink refiller to inject the plant wth weedkiller, bleach, vinegar or brine.

    Surely a large sturdy screwdriver will have them out in a jiffy. I am not an expert but whenever I've went down the chemical route it says to avoid putting the stuff in the compost as it's still full of nastiness. Might be worth bearing that in mind
