Crabgrass will regenerate. If you want to rid yourself of this problem,o
get a crabgrass specific herbicide. It will clear up the infestation in a
couple of treatments without harming your lawn.

Our lawn is a bit of a mixture of grasses but mainly bemuda. It is however
infested with crab grass. I know i made a mistake in not putting down a
preemergant. I have been pulling the crab grass up by hand getting a fair
amount of root with it. Does crab grass regenerate from timy fragements of
root left in the soil or is it killed if the majority of the roots are
removed? I am just hoping that by pulling the stuff that I am not now
going
yo have a bigger problem. I don't really want to use weed killer are the
grass around it is just greening upp nicely.
