If its Scotts Builder Halts Crabgrass, you apply when grass is wet from
dew or sprinkling it. Then next day, if no rain, you water it it real
good. Thats it for two months.

Crabgrass preventer must be applied in the early spring. It prevents
the seeds from sprouting. At this time of year (summer) you need to
use a crabgrass _killer_ and you must do it before the plants drop their
seeds.

IMHO: I'd put down the preventor, and then used the crab grass killer.
While tilling the stuff, it might be ready to seed, and your neighbors
might be donating their crabgrass to your lawn as well.

It's just a waste putting down pre-emergent crabgrass control in CA at
this time of year. This works by preventing germination, which has
already occurred by now. To be effective, it needs to be put down in
early spring, about the time forsythias bloom is optimal.

I was told here in Pa, that there is a later germination period, late
summer early fall. When the crabgrass you already have(or the
nieghbors) drops seeds, and the temperature is suitable. With months
of protection, the preventor will carry him through this period.

I'm gunna have to check on this, I might be paranoid since being a
first time homeowner and reading too much into some products.

later,
