Killing Dandelions Organically

July 18 2013

This is a work in progress, but I’ll let you know the results. From reading several articles, the best solution seems to be a mixture of pulling and table salt. This is what I am going to try. Each dandelion plant I will root out as good as I can and dump a teaspoon of table salt in. I’ll take photos and show you the results…

Here are the articles I read. There are 4 natural ways discussed, torching them, pouring boiling water on them, vinegar, and salt. I don’t feel like smelling vinegar, or wasting energy boiling water, torching them just seems extreme. I’m gonna try salt, its cheap, should be easy to work with, and should work really well…

Here are some of the articles I read:
