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!


There is an Ortho Crabgrass killer spray, but my personal experience
was that it was not too effective. Hand pull the crabgrass out and
don't let it re-seed. Most importantly, overseed your lawn in late
summer. Crabgrass likes a sunny sparse lawn, and won't grow in a
thick lawn. A thicker lawn will greatly cut down on many weeds. You
may need to use pre-emergence next spring and again 90 days later.
