Rid your lawn of dandelions Are you tired of Mother Nature planting a garden of dandelions, clover and other weeds in your lawn every spring? There is a solution to the problem, but according to Scotts lawn care expert Ashton Ritchie, you're just wasting your time and effort if you try to tame those weeds by dig- ging and pulling. Years ago, the popular way to get dandelions and other broadleaf weeds out of a lawn was to dig them out, and a special V-shaped tool was sold spe- cifically for this purpose. But much to the lawnown- er's disappointment, the weeds grew back . . . again and again. "Dandelion roots are sometimes up to two feet long," Ritchie said. "Simply yanking them out of the ground may give imme- diate, temporary results, but the roots will continue to grow underground and a new plant will replace the old one on your lawn's surface. "In fact," Ritchie added, "researchers at Scotts once tried dynamiting dande- lions, but they still grew back!" The easy and efficient way to rid your lawn of those persistent perennial weeds--roots and all--is to apply a weed-and-feed pro- duct such as Scotts® Turf Builder Plus 2® when the weeds are actively growing. | ANALDA LANDSCAPING & NURSERIES * SHRUBS * EVERGREENS + LARGE OR SMALL TREES - ANNUALS - PERENNIALS - * PEAT MOSS « FERTILIZERS * GARDEN SPRAYS + NURSERY STOCK ROSES Everything For The Do-It-Yourself Gardener 3.
