Thanks for the welcomes and quick replies. I mainly want to get rid of them for aesthetic reasons, I live in a residential area. I do plan on making tea and salads out of them after ripping them out and composting the rest. I wouldn't mind a few, but there is patches where there is barely any grass and a lot of dandelions. I'm planning on trying to keep the front grass clear of them and have a few in the back yard. I also hate how fast they shoot up after I mow, I would have to mow every other day to keep up with them.

So do you think that pouring a little vinegar into the hole after I rip them out is a good idea?

Yes, I did read that article, that is what led me to hear. I guess I'll have to reread it. I planned on doing soil samples after I took care of the dandelions and altering my pH if needed, if that is what you were referring to.

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I'm trying to get a decent lawn organically. My first problem I want to tackle are dandelions, there are dozens of them on my ~1/2 acre of lawn. So far I plan on getting a fiskars weeder, then if I don't get the whole root, pouring some vinegar down the hole. The vinegar down the hole is my idea, has anyone tried this? Does this sound like a good plan?
