Default crabgrass 'preventer'

Xref: kermit rec.gardens:239243

It could be a lot of things. Timing is critical. Once the soil
temperature hits 55 degrees you might be to late. Did you put it down
at the correct rate? I don't know about that product. I use a pre-em
without fertilizer and get it down a little earlier than I should. It
lasts 90 days in the soil and I've had decent sucess(luck).

I put down Scotts with Halts in early April, as per the instructions. That

crabgrass problem. I look at my lawn this weekend, and whaddaya know?
Crabgrass growing in exactly the same places it did last year, only I think
it has even arrived a bit sooner.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did I time it wrong or does this stuff
just not work as advertised?

Thanks
