I've heard about the forsythia and crabgrass. But, unfortunately I've
seen forsythia in full bloom in mid-January. I have also heard about
looking for the first spring dandelion bloom. I apply pre-emergence
the first week of March. The timing of application is very important
and varies by location. I am in E. TN.

Apply a preemergent product in spring when the forsythia are in full bloom, and that should take care of the bulk of the new (annual) crabgrass plants.

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!
