About dandelions,my daughter has just got a pup (beautiful Alaskan Malmout) she(the pup not my daughter)keeps eating dandelions in their garden.They don't want to use weed killer obviously and I'd heard a teaspoon of salt at the centre works.Does anyone know if this is effective or not.Thanks

Re: Election

That's really good...though I too, end up slapping all of 'em before I realised what it was about. Never mind...they don't take any notice of us any other time, so an unintentional slap won't make any difference. Cheers.
