Although they are often referred to as weeds and considered a pesky backyard annoyance to many, Dandelions are actually good for your lawn. They have wide-spreading roots that help to loosen hard-packed soil, aerate the earth and help to reduce erosion. The deep taproot of the dandelion pulls nutrients such as calcium, nitrogen and other minerals from deep in the soil and makes them readily available to other plants. Dandelions also help to fertilize the grass.
