Getting rid of Crab Grass
Peter Pan said:
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. 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. You're Bent's cousin, aren't you? 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. -- Eggs -It is easier to get forgiveness than permission. |

I am telling the OP to seed in the Fall, kill what he has now.. but seed when the weather is cooler.. |

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. |

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 |
