Lydia - sometimes it's hard to get the dandelions out of the cracks, I don't think it's supposed to go in the garden itself.

You realize of course, that this will kill hard-working ants, bees, pillbugs, earthworms, butterflies and anything else that comes in contact with it. Why not just PULL the things? Lightening bug larvae are also in the soil.
will give it a try!
Thanks.
