But don't go buy the premixed crap from Home Hardware...it's no wonder city folk haven't caught on to the wonders of roundup since they get stuff that's super diluted. Go buy a jug of the unmixed stuff, mix it according to the directions for the highest concentration you should have, and give'er! Use a little sprayer so you'll be able to spray just the dandelion and you'll have all your grass still...oh and you should really try to get them early on in their dandelion career.

If they're <15 cm, a mix of .67 L/ac with a water volume of 20-40 L/ac should be enough. You can always increase the mix if you want though.
Unless you are a farmer and can provide a legal land description that identifies you live in the country, you can not buy the undiluted stuff. UFA sells it but won't sell it to Calgary residents.
