Just use this... https://www.amenity.co.uk/products/icl-sportsmaste...
I used to use it at a cricket ground I looked after for a while, and did the whole outfield with it. I now use it at home as still have a few bags.

Did you write this review? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spear-Jackson-Elements-Da...
"Slipping it at an angle under the weed and turf then pressing down causes the surface under the weed to lift and separate like a well filled playtex allowing you to tease the weed free"
^ I've tried a general weed puller that I found in the greenhouse, and tried to remove dandelions from borders without a great deal of success. Usually I can't get deep enough and end up just breaking the main root off, so it'll probably be back at some point. I haven't tried it in the lawn because of the damage it'll cause.
I tried using the "dig each one out by hand" method, but it's a mega pain in the arse and doesn't work well - some just come right back.
Now just use the "dilute yourself" stuff and a sprayer, dead easy, works really well.

I use an old kitchen knife - like the review description above, slide it in at an angle but deep to cut the root a few inches down and just pull the plant out. Seems to work.
Oh, is that effective? I thought that if I don't get the entire root out, it'd just start coming back again.RedAndy said:

I was just about to say that.
We had three at one stage and they just loved them. We had a run for them so we moved it around each day to where the dandelions were.
Worked a treat.
Now the GP's are gone I just dig them out individually by the roots and it is easy to keep on top of them once you have cleared them initially on masse.
