THE DANDELION PROBLEM

I am a lazy gardener with a bad back, for some reason, this year, the flower beds are full of dandelions, I can' t weed them out  very well, so I hit on the idea of using a Dyson battery vacuum cleaner with the nozzle removed to vacuum off all the seeds, it works a treat, so at least there will not be the spread of seeds this time.

    Perhaps Mr Dyson can invent a vacuum cleaner to suck out  all the weeds too.image

    When is the best time to cut back a camellia bush?

    Pam, i would start a new topic re your camelia because this one is headed Dandelions and some people may not bother to look.

    dig out root of dandylion  and any flower heads pick before seeding and if your clever you could make dandylion wine.
