How does it handle Dandelions?

It loosens everything and all you do is pick up the vegetation. It's not like a standard rototiller, but it will work on dandelions.

This tiller worked great on Dandelions as well as crabgrass and other weeds that tried to infest my lawn. I love it!!!

I personally do not have much Canadian Thistle, but the few I have used it on, have come up with no problem. Dandelions have deep roots also. That is what I primarily used it on. I can say enough about how much I love this tool. It does an outstanding job!

The long handle model is for simple weeding in the garden. It is not for pulling up dandelions or other weeds. You can search Amazon for long handle cobrahead.

This machine is great in flower beds. Not so great when trying to break up virgin soil tho. Has a hard time in grass as it gets wound up easily.

I have had the best results with small, green branches and the least with grass-like plants and larger branches or dry ones. I usually end up with a pile of mulch where I have to separate the longer, stringy pieces from that which I can really use for mulching around the garden. I burn what I can't use ( maybe 15%.) You could bag it and put it in the trash. This unit will take care of a good part of our waste with the rest that's too big going to the landfill.

The only GMO dandelion at this time is for latex production not food. Given that it's and organic product there is only the possibility of cross contamination.

I don't have dandelions so I can't help you. Sorry. It takes 5-9 days for tough weeds like dicondra

No, the flame will damage the turf beside the dandelion. This tool is not really good for weed control in healthy turf. But will work great for weeds in gravel, pavement, along fence lines etc.

Yes. It handles regular potatoes without a problem and I would think it could handle anything that grows.

Yes it should do he job. I had a dandelion and clover problem killed them all in about a week. I mix it at 2x the recommend amount it works better

Sedge is extremely invasive and will take over any grass you have planted in your lawn, and then proceed to take over your flower bed. I do not believe it can ever truly be killed, only controlled, because of its deep (as in 3, 4, 5 + feet) root system. I am not sure what your standing water problem is, but I believe there must be a better solution than encouraging the growth of sedge. On the other hand, now that you have some infestation, you can count on any ongoing expense to control it. Personally, I would level your back yard, and it that doesn't fix it, consider an underground drainage system. Best of luck...

I've never used it for strawberries but it gets most of dandelion roots in hard ground. I've dug out Holly bush roots with this weeder and a shovel. It's strong enough of a metal and won't bend.

not sure if it works on crabgrass, definitely works on dandelions. I would think that it would work on crabgrass but I don't have any so can't be certain.

Not great. If it's too long it will push it down before it cuts it. If you have heavy dandelions, it doesn't do well either. I mow our lawn pretty regularly so this doesn't happen, but it is something to watch out for.

It will handle them, the vac function works very well and the mulching blade is durable. However it will be very noisy with the acorns being ground up! On the down side, the blowing function does not work well for anything heavier than dry leaves - the end of the nozzle is too small to allow a lot of air out.

Hi, I have used this on all sizes of leaves with no problem. Just be sure to feed larger leaves slower so they don't jam up!! Really works great

We don't have those in NC either, so can't speak to that. However can tell you that it does a great job on dandelions and thistles. I love this tool !
