Well, depending on what it is, it may be difficult to get rid of
without killing the desirable grass. Suppose it's poa trivialis or
similar? There are plenty of obnoxious weed type grasses that are
difficult or impossible to eliminate with selective herbicides.



It's a little late in the season to drop seed but what you can do is take a
sample of what is in your yard. The do a google search for LESCO and see
where your local dealer is. Take said sample to him and say " hey. I got
this, please help me get rid of it" or something to that effect. He will
then give you a bag of something to kill what you have. Then in the fall..
you will need to aerate your yard as well as seed and starter fertilizer. In
the spring, you will aerate and drop more seed.. Like I said it's a little
late in the season, seed germinates at temps between 60 - 80 F I like it a
little cooler myself..

Geez, the guy just said he wants to get rid of some weed. That
doesn't mean he needs to do a double lawn renovation.




ALSO: there is a difference between crab grass and other weeds that grow in
your lawn. Just because it's not grass, doesn't make it crab grass. There
are other nuisance weeds that grow such as clovers, chick weed ect. That's
why it's somewhat important to I.D. before you put any product down, you
want to enssure that what you buying will rid your yard of what you have.
First things first: post a pic of your problem to help I.D. it

Well, yes and no. I agree it's good to know what the weed is, but
taking a sample somewhere for identification isn't always
practical. The popular broadleaf weedkillers readily available kill
most types of broadleaf weeds. And it's needed at times on all lawns
anyway to control one weed or another. He could buy some and try it
on a test spot. Note: It doesn't kill crabgrass, but I doubt that is
what he has.

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the crab grass please?

Hello Jim

Can you post a pic of it? (not to this NG) but to a free server like
tinypic.com

Are you sure it's crabgrass?
