Where I live it’s frankly too dry for uniform grass lawns and dandelions will completely take over if left alone. I’d be fine with it if I didn’t find the green jagged leafed plant and milky red stems so fugly, never mind the nice yellow flower.

I’ve been overseeding with white clover and native wildflowers since moving in both of which thrive in the spring choking out dandelions naturally. Puts nitrogen back into the soil too unlike grass.

All I do is aerate now.
