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. -- Salty |

All I know is that I have yet to see crab grass growing in a urinal. what should I tell the neighbors when they tell me to put Willie back in the garage? With close neighbors, you will have to use the catheter and sprinkler attachment. Tono |

Has any one on this newsgroup tried the baking soda approach? Shepherd 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. Shepherd |

Seems like you all should mix the baking soda with water before putting it
on the crabgrass so the plants can absorb it. Have you tried that? "Salty Thumb" wrote in message ... Salty Thumb wrote in : "BiG_Orange" @ wrote in : "Shepherd" wrote in message ...

The original post said 'sprinkle', I assumed that meant dry. Anyway, I just thought I'd try it for grins, Need more info before I try again. -- Salty |

Yes, I mixed baking soda with water. Did not kill any crabgrass. Also I hosed down the crabgrass before sprinkling on the dry baking soda. Did not kill crabgrass, weeds or even the grass.
