My lawn is sort of Bahia grass and I have about 25% Crabgrass when it is
real hot like in July and Aug.
What can I do to get rid of the crabgrass without spending a fortune? Also I
just did the Vigaro Weed and Feed (I know it's not for Crabgrass) to control
the other weeds.
Thanks

Put out pre-emergent to kill any crabgrass seeds. In your climate, you may
have to use pre-emergent more than twice a year, I dunno. Beyond that,
there are some herbicides that are somewhat selective (MSMA comes to mind)
and will kill crabgrass without killing everything else. Go to your local
garden center and tell them what you're trying to do. I'm sure they can
point you to the appropriate herbicide.
