Re: Bio-control for dandelions expected soon

**K* M* <k*@iol.ie>**

Three comments

1. I don't know of any other sclerotina that stays where you put it.
2. Here in Ireland if the temperature is in the range where this  
fungus works it isn't wet enough for it to work
3. Mowing at the right height controls dandelions in lawns anyway -  
and most of the rest of weeds in lawns

And what's wrong with dandelions anyway? Not that I see many either  
in my own garden or Sonairte's because both garden's are mowed for  
lawn weed control. In fact I have to head for local hedgerows if I  
want to make dandelion wine
