Life is "mind over matter". If I d
Cam--I have a couple of questions....

WHEN do you spray the Weed-Be-Gone on your lawn?
And--can newly sprouted crab grass be killed like a weed?

I was talking to a customer at the HD and she said she always sprays her whole lawn with Weed-be-Gone really early ( is NOW considered early???)--and she said
she never has any weeds the rest of the season in the lawn the rest of the year.

All I have done so far is sprinkle down the Spectracide crab grass/weed killer about a month ago to discourage any crab Grass from coming up.
Not sure how reliable this product is as a weed stop/pre-emergent?
I will NOT use the Scotts pre-emergent. Their prices are a rip-off and wayyy to high in "N" and--in my opinion, not long lasting as a lawn fertilizer.
More a "BAM!!!"--and your lawn is green...not long term results.
I bought another bag of the Spectracide and will repeat this treatment. Need to put down some more Milorganite as well.

Just went out to see the name on the Spectracide bag--and the rabbits (??) of someone else, had chewed open one whole corner of the this bag . Like--I could put my fist through the hole! Did not think any critter would eat this stuff!!!

Overall--I am behind on everything....aren't most of us?? Stupid weather!
Not gonna freak out about it either. Gita
