Getting rid of Crab Grass

WOW! Lots of response... Thank you. I've been gone for a few days, sorry for the delay. I have posted 3 pics of the grass, although I don't know if you'll be able to figure it out as to what it is: 1. www.moneytime.ca/grass-1.jpg 2. www.moneytime.ca/grass-2.jpg 3. www.moneytime.ca/grass-3.jpg If someone can help first identify and secondly provide a cure, I would appreciate it. NOTE: I am located around the Hamilton/Toronto, Ontario (Canada) area - So, in the summer when the igloo melts is when I'm concerned about the grass. ) It's not crabgrass from what I can see. As I posted earleir, here in NJ crabgrass is still small plants, so in your area, it should be even less noticeable. And crabgrass looks like a crab, ie, the grass grows more outward and close to the ground. What you have appears to be some other type of grass like weed. And that's the bad news. Because if it is some type of grass, then it's doubtful there is an effective selective herbicide. It looks like you're letting this grow up to seed which is a mistake, as if you let it develop seed, that just develops more of it. And where is the turf grass? From what I can see, there isn't much. If you want to get rid of it, I think you're going to have to get it identified, as I doubt the typical general purpose products will work. Given the overall look of this, I'm starting to agree with Peter Pan that a lot more work may be in order. Given that you have so much of this, and not much decent grass that is apparent, I'd probably do nothing till late August. Then do a renovation. Kill off everything with Roundup, aerate, then re-seed with a quality seed of the right type using a slice seeder. |
