Make some wine!
Then buy some minerals in a bag to replace what the dandelions could have brought up into the sward.How to get rid
Get your pH and Phosphate to the upper limit they hate both
Sticking my neck out and saying your low on one or the other
Make mine a large one!Make some wine!
Not so sure about that; seems a bit like 'rushes like acidity and wetness' - whereas they are happy elsewhere and really just tolerate those conditions better than others.How to get rid

Get some lime on then , none hereIs it the year of the "Dandelion"?
I have a field this year absolutely covered in dandelions, never had any for the past 5 years!
Pray tell, what are these 'dandelions' you all write of?
Glad to read that at least one of you gogs has finally come to terms with your status in the great scheme of things; not sure about elevating you to the level of p!ss-pot emptier though...“I do believe that they are a wildflower of yellow hue Sire: apparently abundant in such common and barren lands that are much less fertile than your own verdant and blessed meadows my Lord.
Some of the lower peasantry do, I am told, also refer to them as ‘pissthebeds’ in reference to the naughty and base habits of their kind, and their inability to afford the beautifully hand painted china chamber pots as used by gentry such as your most gracious self Sire: and which, if granted your most esteemed permission, I am honoured to be about to empty, my Lord.”

That's why they are growing , prolifically,Its the grass thats shorter than normal.
Well then, 'off' if you like - odd turn of phrase though - may be a promotion to consider; but there is no chance of 'out of', being married that role has already been bespoken...“It would indeed be an honour Sire, beyond my wildest dreams, to take the pee off you.....”
This ^^^There is nothing wrong whatsoever with Dandelions. Stock will graze them, they are good for their health, and second-cut hay or haylage can have dandelion leaves as big as chicory leaves.
And as Sid said, their deep tap roots have all sorts of benefits. And if you run out of coffee or need a diuretic.... Didn't they used to call them ''pissthebeds''?
Stopping overgrazing will see them off.That's why they are growing , prolifically,
Seed that's blown in the wind ,millions of them , grass is slow so they spied their chance
But my exert in the subject says Phosphate and Lime will see them off
