Winnipeg faces another season of battling a sea of yellow

WINNIPEG — Another season of battling the dandelions plaguing Winnipeg’s lawns has begun.

It’s a sea of yellow all around the province. Just one season after Manitobans were forced to kick their now illegal chemicals to the curb, they’re looking for new ways to continue the battle.

Homeowners looking for alternative methods have decided to take matters in to their own hands. Fewer killing options means more frequent lawn mowing and even digging the dandelions off of their property.

As Manitoba’s ban on potentially harmful pesticides continues in to this season, locals say they’ll continue to look for the best option to wash away the sea of yellow.
