Dandelion Lawn Treatments
As the weather warms up and the grass begins to
grow dandelions seem to pop up everywhere. The
word dandelion is an English word that is derived
from the French name dent de lion. This means
lion tooth which could refer to the fact that
dandelions have coarsely tooth leaves. Some feel
this pesky flower got its name because it is
deeply rooted in the ground. These plants are
useful in different ways but people still
consider it a weed that spoils the look of their
beautiful landscape. Eliminating dandelions
can be difficult because they can grow in even
adverse circumstances. The seeds that they
produce do not remain dormant very long and
quickly germinate. They also do not need
pollination to produce seeds because they can
fertilize themselves.

Dandelion seeds can survive six years in the soil
and just one plant can release as many as fifteen
thousand seeds at a time. When a seed sprouts,
it will also create that many more seeds so you
can see why it grows and spreads so
quickly.   When getting rid of dandelions you
must make sure that you exterminate them
completely because they will regenerate. To get
rid of them completely you need to kill the
taproot also. There are both inorganic and
organic ways to get rid of this weed. You can
call your local lawn service for dandelion lawn
treatment to get rid of them but you need to make
sure that you kill the dandelion as soon as you
see the seedlings.

the roots of the grass while others like cinch
bugs and mites will happily extract the rich
juices on the blades of the grass. Both cases
will definitely lead to destruction and that once
green grass will turn yellow. Dont wait until
pests invade and thrive on your lawn because this
may be too late to save it you dont want to end
up requiring replenishing your lawn. Look for
