what kind of grass have we here?
Would appreciate input from you grass experts. This is a bluish-green
grass coming up in bare spots in the mostly fescue lawn. There is some bermuda in places, but I am not sure this is bermuda. Don't seem to be any runners in these patches. photo is here http://www.farmphoto.com/photography...+of+grass% 3F |

I don't know what kind of grass this is, but I think that you can't control
it with any standard "weed & feed" -- so you might want to think about using Roundup or something else on it, if you can target it accurately.

You can get a spray for crabgrass that does not affect fescue. Here is a URL of lots of types of weed grasses. If it is crabgrass you should see some runners but the fescue may be inhititing it. http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/weeds_common.html -- Wes Dukes (wdukes.pobox@com) Swap the . and the @ to email me please. spam@www.spam.com is a garbage address. |

Thanks for the info. That's a cool weed identification site. New one
to bookmark. I'll be surprised if its crabgrass, but will give it some time and see. Thanks again. Now back to that site to see what other weeds are popping up this time of year wrote in message http://www.farmphoto.com/photography...+kind+of+grass %3F Hard to tell from the picture but it looks like crabgrass which does like to come up in bare spots.

It's a nice looking grass, good to have some diversity.

Definitely crabgrass. If you use a weed & feed in the spring, about
mid-march (a good one, like Scotts) it will keep the crabgrass from sprouting for about 3 months. Then you can either apply again to keep the crabgrass down (or use one with less nitrogen for mid-summer), or something that just keeps seeds from sprouting (I've read corn gluten will work, which I think can be purchased online or from a garden supply like Southern States). We used a weed & feed this spring and don't have NEAR the crabgrass we had last year and didn't even apply a second time, so it really helps! ncstockguy wrote: Would appreciate input from you grass experts.

Might be nice looking but crabgrass will eventually crowd out your good
grass because it is more aggressive and grows faster in the heat than fescue. Then it is an annual sprouting yearly from 50,000 seeds PER PLANT so it leaves dead places in your yard where it took over during the summer that it will fill with even more crabgrass the next year.

Yes, it's definitely crabgrass. Will be re-seeding that part of the
yard this fall and using corn gluten to keep that nasty stuff from coming up early next spring. By the way you can get 50 pound bags of corn gluten at THS Feeds in North Raleigh. I posted that here some time time ago: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=co...gle.com&rnum=3 I just didn't use it on that area of the yard, naturally. It has worked very well at keeping stilt grass down in the back areas, though. And have been using grass killer in the few spots where the stilt grass managed to break through.
