The above comment was pointing out that each 1 centimeter is slightly less than 0.4 inches. If you want to be more precise, each centimeter is about 0.3937 inches.

		Your correction to my perception of what you intended 0.4 inches to represent is accepted.

That's where glyphosate comes in handy.

Why do you need to get rid of dandelions?

The cancer was worth it to rid ourselves of a mildly offensive flower.

		I reckon you could skip spraying it if you were going to eat it anyway. Did you know that wheat in the US is sprayed with glyphosate right before harvest? It causes all the wheat to dry evenly, avoiding the need to cut down the wheat and windrow it for drying. This means extra weeks in the growing season to squeeze another crop in.

Always good to have a weed puller in your toolshed. A stand-up puller, specifically, that operates as a lever, allowing it to first grab deeply and then through a rotation of the handle it pulls out quite a bit of the root system. A lifesaver if you have a rain garden which is really just a synonym for weed garden.

the link is to a dandelion root system that goes 450 centimeters into the ground, or 4.5 meters / 5 yards.

we'd like to know how much of that weed would your weed puller pull if your weed puller pulled a full pull?

Any recommendations for a particular weed puller?

		I've never used a bad one, although I wouldn't class any of them as anything stellar. All of them have looked like a snake's twisted tongue. Using them depends on the delicate combination and application of brute force and technique. If your technique and brute force is up to spec, a crowbar works as a makeshift weed puller.

		It's kinda gimmicky but I found this thing on clearance at a local hardware store and it works fairly well (gets most weeds out without me having to bend over, which is nice): https://grampasweeder.com/collections/grampas-gardenware/pro... It doesn't get everything but I can do more work on the tough ones when so many come right out.
