okay, I just tried it. Not sure I used enough as the wind kept blowing it
away, there was enough to leave visible white specks. It's going to rain
repeatedly in the next five days. Also not 100% positive mine is
crabgrass, but matches everyway that I checked. Crab grass is growing back
from being weedwhacked, but I didn't sprinkle everything, so there is a
control group.

I wouldn't blame anyone for checking-in. It could be that the person in
the other forum was off their nut, kidding or trolling.

All I know is that I have yet to see crab grass growing in a urinal.

With close neighbors, you will have to use the catheter and sprinkler attachment.

Before trying it, I wonder if the baking soda hawould have any
advwerse affect upon regular garden plants? It wouldn't seem to
but... If it doesn't then I'll give it a shot in my garden. Shoot,
worst it can do is not work so what am I outG?

Well, so much for baking soda!

I applied baking soda on several clumps of crabgrass almost exactly 5 days
ago and those clumps look as green and are as vigorous and healthy looking
as they did before the treatment.

In a poorly conducted experiment, a light dusting of sodium bicarbonate
powder appears to have had no effect. Foliage in applied area appears
similar to control group. Rain and substantial wind occured during the
test period.
