it isn't really that much work, either! dig up some roots, wash them and chuck 'em in a food processor until they're in tiny chunks, then roast them and use them as you would normally use coffee grounds. getting dandelions by the taproot is also a good way to make sure that dandelion will be gone for good if you don't want them in your yard
