Default Getting rid of Crab Grass

Why? I've seen both smooth and large crabgrass all over the place, and it's
readily identifiable by /most/ homeowners. As hot as it's been across the
country, this early, it may be a good bet that their ID is positive. Just
curious as to why you doubt their ID. =)

Well, we don't know where Jim is located, so if he's someplace warmer,
I guess he could have a noticeable crabgrass problem. But here in
NJ, which is I'd say middle of the road as far as summer temp, it
doesn't become a problem that people usually notice and start asking
questions about until a month from now. Plus he said something about
it becoming noticeable if he lets his grass grow for a couple of
weeks, which implies it's been around already for weeks. Which lead
me to think it's more likely something else, but without a pic who
knows.
