Agreed. My landscape gardener told me many moons ago that grass likes
being cut, but weeds don't. I just mow regularly and they eventually
disappear.

Dandelions just grow close to the ground instead.

But regular grass cutting stops the Dandelions fron turning each one
into thousands of more Dandelion seeds. As soon as I cut the lawn I
don't see any Dandelions and our grass then looks like any other lawn
that doesn't have them.
That's good enough for me. You can never win the Dandelion war simply
because, even if you eradicate them in your garden, within a few weeks
seeds from Dandelions in other gardens will blow over and they will
germinate in yours. It's a waste of time and effort to spend your life
trying to eradicate them. Just cut the lawn every week, IMO.

doesn't help; they turn up in flower beds, in the wild (bluebell covered)
ground, under hedges, in cracks in the drive, etc.
