hey! dandelions are good for all sorts of things. first they wont grow in a real healthy lawn, second they have long roots so they dont compete for the food where the grass roots are but they DO bring up minerals from deep down that the grass needs and can't get to. and you can eat them, and the juice from the roots is good for getting rid of warts and the flowers if you ferment them make good wine and they're pretty once you get over the prejuduce socioty has talked you into believing. If we had a few more dandelions and a little less fertilizer in the neighborhoods around this world we'd have a much nicer place over all.
