Dandelions. Kill dandelions with salt

You can kill dandelion weeds in your lawn and landscape by putting a teaspoon of salt directly onto the base of the dandelion. The salt will work into the soil and kill the roots. This does take a little time but your yard can be beautiful for just pennies!

...if i had a dumptruck full of salt. that is the most idiotic thing i have ever heard in my life. it is absolutely ridiculous. ...a teaspoon of salt on the roots of each dandelion.... my yard would be nothing but a teaspoon thick of salt. good day and good luck on draining the ocean. jdlee

This is a really stupid method but whatever works for ya. Maybe if you spend a few extra dollars you can get your lawn care provider to fix that for you. Its not that hard and it doesnt tale up to 2 weeks to work

This works a treat, good thinking that man! Sure, if you must kill all dandelions NOW, and you don't mind pumping poisonous chemicals onto your children's playground, and you don't want to save a few quid, or have a "lawn care provider", then maybe it's not for you. But me, I'm not too fussed by any of the above and I'll be spreading the word to like-minded folk

You will quickly poison your soil with this method and soon nothing will grow. Seaside gardeners have a hard time finding naturally salt resistant plants.
