Above is what I would do.


The problem is those weedkillers on sale to the general public are often
jus as effective as a chocolate tea pot.

The potential with dandelions is that the problem doesn't originate in
your garden. You may clear the problem in your lawn and re-seed but next
season thousands of new seeds will float in from your neighbours.

that is why a reguylar selective weed and feed is the answer.

The ground is 'poisoned' against dandelions and they wont germinate
