Yes, it created holes in the lawn, if one uses this device in the fight against dandelions. But I for my part take the willing to accept, because the arduous operating out with knives or dandelion Stecher was not usually crowned by long-term success. For this reason I recommend this simple and easy-to-use tool further. Dandelion has long roots and only the Unkrautstecher they can bring out fully and without great effort. The resulting holes are provided for ventilation of the garden and grow again. So I'm so happy to work!
