Dandy Lions have taken over in the front yard.<br />Anyone know of a product (like a one step) cure?<br />All the month of July I havent even used the bag on the mower because only the Dandy Lions are green and growing! Arrrrg<br /><br />Thanks

"Weed & Feed" From Home depot, or wherever. <br /><br />Worked for me. Also darkens and richens the grass. <br /><br />Killed them all off in under a week for me this spring. Never came back either. <br /><br />Good luck!

Before you kill them make a few salads with the greens, but avoid the ones with yellow stains ;)

One more vote for weed and feed. K mart, Home Depot, any brand. Just follow the directions on the bag. Good stuff. (SS is right, though, about the yellow stains. They are to be avoided)! :D :D

Link, I have used Scotts Bonus S Weed and Feed, and have had great results with it. This year though, due to semi neglect since Ivan, The back was really infested with dandilions and dollarweed. I used a tag team approach. Put out the weed and feed then I used a hose end sprayer with Ortho Weed B Gone and between the two, we have no more dandilions. Takes about a week before they are all gone.
