newspapers landscape fabric and then mulch
This advise sounds like it would work.
Mix 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap, 1/4 cup of lemon juice and 1 quart of vinegar. Pour this into aspray bottle and spray enough to thoroughly coat all parts of the dandelion. If the dandelion hasn't completely withered within three hours, spray the plant again.
I use salt, however there is now a depletion of the bee population and if it continues we will be in big trouble, dandelions help feed the bee population.
Hope this is of help!
If you have children, have them pull the dandelion and give them each a quarter for every one-- dandelion economics. You could also spray them with vinegar and it will kill them.
