Sterilize the lawn. Wait for the herbicide to dissapate. Plant with some
other type of grass. Keep well watered during hot dry weather. :-P

I lived in Las Vegas for 15 years. Healthy fescue or rye or other grasses
will keep the crab grass and bermuda out, but once it's established, you are
pretty much stuck with it. In the winter it will die out, and you can plant
a winter rye type of grass and keep it well watered. Not sure if that will
stop the crabgrass from coming back or not.

I'm in Minnesota, which I believe is Zone 4 for the most part. Like a lot
of people, crabgrass is a part of my lawn. Overall the lawn looks pretty
good, but the crabgrass is encroaching.

Is there any way to poison or kill the crabgrass at this time of year? Or
did I miss my chance in the spring?

There's too much to spray with one of those Windex-type bottles of Ortho
or something, so is there some kind of broadcast spray that will only kill
crabgrass?

Thanks!
