Afternoon,
What is the efficient way to deal with these as I have lots and lots and lots. Option 1, which is recommended obviously is to dig the whole thing out without snapping the tap root. Which is fine except it's almost impossible and even if you manage it probably takes about 10-15mins if its biggun. Mine go 2ft deep into the clay layer below my top soil.
Option 2 - use a fork or dandelion tool thing to quickly get as much out as possible. I get the vast majority of it out and can do probably 10 in time it takes me to dig one out properly. But of course they grow back and I have to dig them out again. Do they eventually stop?
Which is the better use of my time?
