Lawn Care Tip

Of your lawn is 99.9% crab grass you don't need read any further!

If your lawn is being visited by flocks of starlings, grackles or cow birds AND/OR has lots of 1/4-1/2" holes AND/or has brown patches get right on down to your nearest lawn supply and get grub killer. I used the Spectracide version with "restorer" aka fertilizer about a week ago after noticing all of the above to varying extents..

The summer season has been relatively mild and wet so lawns should be green and vibrant now.

Note: I also applied in the Spring but my routine is 2X per year as I would rather pay Lowes for grub killer than re-seed my lawn.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

My lawn is all crabgrass too. I'm the only guy in the neighborhood with a fluorescent lime green lawn. I kinda like it. You need sunglasses to look at it

Have you looked into Milky spore? I don't do much to my lawn anymore but it seemed to work for the grubs, it has been 10 years so I will have to do it again...next year maybe.

crab grass is awesome, it stays nice and low and short, equals less cutting

Now that you mention it Jay, I do like the color
