What do the panel think?

Just mow it regularly.


yes, if you have a second strip of grass around home mow there, after the
first, that way you will have dandeleons uniformly all over your lawn areas
!!!
Ay? Are you saying that mowing will spread the seeds? *Regular*
mowing would include before the seeds have formed, not to mention when
the (few hopefully) newly sown dandelions are just starting to grow
and will be fairly fragile.


One years seed = 7 years weed. The tenants probably hasn't bothered
to cut the grass regularly so the entire lawn is infested with
dandelion seeds waiting to germinate.

Paraquat the whole lot next may and re-turf.

Umm.. banned in the uk I think. Also only kills the green bits leaving
the roots to recover.

Roundup next May might be better but you will be laying turf on dead
plant/roots rather than clean soil.
