the secret to beating crab grass is to change your strategy towards it.. no chemicals needed
think of it as a pesky carrot .... with a top that wants to spread out
in a mat 360 DEGREES... thats its growing M.O>
so in the
spring (if you have grab grass ) you grow your grass as tall as you can get away with before the
first Cut ,,,,,the base of each individual grass plant tells you when to cut because eventually the base
not the blade will stretch out...elongate to grow a traditional tall grass plant 3 feet high
but you use the grass to shade out the crab grass and compete with it for light....(makes it have to grow tall....) at the same time you water and fertilize it so it has a real
easy to grab hold of Bunch...."heathy) to
gather up.... then on or just after a big
rainy day you stick a four pronged digger in next to it then lift/pry it all out....root and all.
sprinkle grass seed ,,,,on that spot that ya loosened up.
