@Chic Rustler, have you considered adding ducks? @Beekissed had a great video of ducks eating potato bugs but I couldn't find it to add the link. But here's a link you might be interested in. I'm seriously thinking of adding some runner ducks here. https://commonsensehome.com/duck-pest-control/

I'd play the guitar too if it got me out of picking weeds!!:D

We're past the dandelion stage for the year but thanks for the detailed instructions @rodeogirl! I'd like to try this next spring.
