Dandelions thrive in soil that is 'dense' - they help break it apart and aerate it. I had a lot of dandelions in my yard, so I knew it needed a bit of aeriation when I first started. I hated to pull them out because I know just how beneficial they are. Their leaves contain calcium, too; it's like natural lawn maintenance! But my wife likes a nice green, manicured lawn, so unfortunately, I pull them out :(
