Spring is one of the four seasons and there are plenty of people who would choose spring over the others. According to them, spring is about hope. Spring is also a miracle. This is because they say that after the cold months of winter, spring brings everything around you back to life. That is some kind of magic and that is what spring has the ability to do. This is season is about bringing back all those plants from hibernation and make them alive once more.
The dandelion is one of the plants that springs back to life when the season comes around. It is known for its beautiful flowers. And then there is that part which lawn owners or garden owners hate - when the plant chooses to live in their gardens or lawns. The dandelion to them is a weed and spring is when they are at its peak. This weed comes with broad leaves and has yellow flowers and is known as a perennial weed.
What you should know about dandelions is that despite the beauty that it shows off when it is at its peak, there is something that it is hiding. Now that comes in the form of the taproot. Its taproot goes really deep and it is quite fleshy. This is one of the reasons why it can be difficult to deal with this weed if you want to take it out manually. And what makes dandelions continue to thrive is the fact that when the yellow flowers mature, they then turn to white seeds which are easily blown by the wind to be brought to another parcel of land to grow.
So how do you deal with dandelions? One of the things that you can consider doing is to actually use your might to take them out. But be ready to get sweaty because you also have to make sure that the taproot is also pulled out. Or you can also opt to just use herbicides. Just apply it every five or six weeks. The leaves will wither when you are doing it properly. Using herbicides could mean a duration of six applications to get it done.
If you hate the fact that dandelions may be sprouting in your garden or your lawn any time soon, there are some things that you can do to prevent them from growing in case seeds have found their way in. One is to actually apply pre-emergent herbicide sometime in April so that the seeds do not grow. Or you can also make sure that your lawn is mowed to the second highest so that the grass grows tall and crowded and any dandelion seeds underneath do not get the right sunlight. - 30228
