I take it that this will be no good for dandelions on the lawn? I've spent hours trying to dig some up out over the past few days. Any suggestions for a quicker way to remove dandelions from the lawn? Thank you.

Weedkiller for lawns. Something like verdone etc. Put it in a pressure sprayer and treat the whole lawn, or use it in a hand sprayer and spot spray the weeds. Apparently verdone is now called weedol for lawns. You could use glyphosate, but you would need to carefully paint it on the leaves of unwanted weeds in the lawn. Neither of the are instant, you have to wait for results, a week or so.

Dandelion leaves are a cheap and nutritionous salad leave. I would suggest eating them.
Otherwise just mow your lawn and that'll keep the dandelions in check.
Don't waste money purchasing poison like this that has more effects on the environment than the manufacturers would have you believe.

Problem is dandelions grow close to the lawn. You may be able to mow the flower spike but eventually your lawn will be covered in dandelions.

As jobibear observed there's plenty of evidence to suggest glyphosate causes cancer or allows cancer to establish and develop when it might not otherwise. As ever these days, there's an ongoing battle between money makers and environmentalists to try to establish a truth - one side with a vested material interest, the other with a vested interest to improve the planet for all of us. Know which side I'm on. My partner almost died from cancer - I take it seriously. I'm not saying glyphosate was implicated in his case, but we do whatever we can to reduce the risk of recurrence. I have glyphosate I naively bought years ago - not been touched. My problem now is how to get rid of it safely - I'm skeptical about local recycling processes. For those with a critical mind, have a read of this letter by Marion Copley, an eminent scientist who worked for the Environmental Protection Agency and herself died of cancer. She was convinced glyphosate caused cancer. Her letter offers a rational and heartfelt protest against this insidious chemical:
