Is there an organic means of getting rid of crabgrass? I've read about
letting the grass get about three inches before cutting to block the
crabgrass out, but I have one area of my lawn that is nothing but crabgrass
and that method just does not work.


Till and reseed with a good quality grass seed in late summer/early fall.
Mow high and properly the following years. Crabgrass is an annual that
germinates in very early spring, but does its heaviest growing in the
summer.
