Just read on another forum that if you sprinkle baking soda on crabgrass it
will wither, turn black and die within 5 days. Has any one on this newsgroup tried the baking soda approach? Shepherd |

Has any one on this newsgroup tried the baking soda approach? Shepherd Why don't you just do it and report back to us in 5 days. 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. -- 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 |

Shepherd 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? |

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 |

Foliage in applied area appears similar to control group. Rain and substantial wind occured during the test period. -- Salty |
