Get Rid of Crabgrass
Crabgrass. If you have a lawn or garden, chances are you’re familiar with it. You may even have figured out by now that it’s among the most tenacious of weeds. It quickly claims any open spaces in your lawn (even small ones), and if left unchecked, crabgrass can outcompete desirable turf grass for resources, spreading into its personal space as it dies. And because crabgrass is an annual plant, meaning it dies every year after the first frost, large patches of crabgrass in your yard can turn into large patches of nothing the following spring. So of course you want to get rid of crabgrass, but once it’s established itself, it’s tricky to eliminate. In fact, getting rid of crabgrass is largely a matter of preventing it in the first place. And even if it’s too late for your lawn this year, it’s never too early to start preparing for next year’s crabgrass invasion. My latest article is a great place to begin.
