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.


Why not seed? He said he wanted to rid his yard of Crab grass, one of the
best ways to prevent Crab grass from growing is to have a thick lawn.. the
only way to have a thick lawn is to seed your yard.. And when is the best
time to seed? (wait for it.....) yes that's right, when temps are between
60 - 80 degrees... and what time of year is that? ... wait for it......
spring and fall..
Thanks for playing, see you next time...

Summer now? Really.. Did you discover that all on your own or did someone
have to tell you it was summer?

Plant you seed in the Summer and watch it NOT grow.. If it's too hot, the
seed will not germinate, that's why most seed tells you right on the side of
the bag, plant when temps are 60 - 80 degrees. And the temps should remain
in that general range for 4 - 6 weeks to allow it to germinate. So once
again genius, Fall and Spring.. If you want to **** your money away go right
a head,

So, are you telling the OP to seed, or not? It seems you're now putting up
a defense for /both/ sides.

Peter actually did say to seed in the Fall. And again in the spring,
and to aerate, and God knows what else. Which, per my previous post,
isn't required if the guy just has some crabgrass or other weed in an
otherwise OK lawn. If the lawn is thin or has thatch or some other
problem, then I can see seeding, aerating, etc. But to suggest this
is necessary just because the guy has some crabgrass doesn't make
sense.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, re Peter. Funny how in all the advice
to the guy to re-seed his lawn twice to get rid of crabgrass, he never
mentioned putting down pre-emergent in Spring, which is the most
obvious and practical step.

Thank you Trader for mentioning the Pre-emergent. I did forget that.. Duhh
on my part. But.. I still stand by having a thick lawn is a good way to
prevent crab grass from growing. There is more then one way to skin a cat,
more then one way to get rid of crab grass
