Crab grass is an annual that develops from seeds produced the previous year—usually around August. If you trim off the tops before that, you can keep a lot of weeds from coming back. It will also loosen its grip on your greenery if attacked with weed eradicators, or pulled out by hand. In addition, you can plant a bluegrass like Mer lon which works to crowd it out. Another way to keep that weed down is with water Crab grass delights in a light spray so when you water your lawn, drench it up to six inches deep! Even when the crab grass is dead, your lawn may still be alive with ants, sod webworms, lawn billbugs,white grubs and chinch bugs. And they’ie aw fully prolific. A single female chinch bug can lay 500" eggs in one season! You can divest yourself of this infestation, and get rid of about 120 other bugs besides, with an all-purpose, nonpersistent in secticide called Spectracide. It contains Diazinon and is effective in protecting your lawn against tough bugs Hopefully, these grass tips will help you help your lawn become rooted in health' TRY A .
