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... It's summer, dumbass. -- Eggs A: Top-posters. Q: What is the most annoying thing in newsgroups? |
