I’ve heard they’re better for pollinators, are more drought resistant, and are easier to maintain.

It’s hard to see a downside.

Has anyone here made the change? How’d it go?

    We get a lot of dandelions here anyway so they’d probably end up mingling whether intentional or not - Now I did hear a while ago that all the parts of the dandelion are edible, and that the flowers are delicious fried, but I’m a little afraid of eating things from the lawn because the neighbourhood has a lot of roaming cats and they… use… my garden frequently, which puts me off nibbling on them.

    I was thinking of intentionally growing them in a raised planter though.
