DANDELION UPDATE: If you really can't tolerate them, here's master gardener Ciscoe Morris' recommendation: (I think I'd heard this before, but I'd forgotten)...
Try an alternative for a weed-free lawn
Looking for a non-chemical way to rid your lawn of dandelions? Spray them with white vinegar from the grocery store or use one of the vinegar-based herbicides available at garden centers. Vinegar works best if applied on a hot sunny day. Wear gloves and eye protection; then use a sprayer to apply undiluted vinegar, and liberally soak the weed. Be warned: vinegar will kill any plant it hits. If you use it to rid your lawn of dandelions it will kill the grass immediately around the weed and you'll end up with dead spots in your lawn.
