What Is Crabgrass?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
A Weed Unlike any Other<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n
Crabgrass is a particularly tenacious weed that loves to take advantage of summer droughts to gobble up all the nutrients dedicated to the lawn.<\/p>\r\n
What makes it so appealing (or not…) is that, like the lawn, it is a grass. In other words, grass and crabgrass are part of the same family. This means that crabgrass is much more difficult to control than its relatives, as a broadleaf weed control treatment will not work on it. Other methods must be used to get rid of it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
How to Get Rid of Crabgrass?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
There are rather limited methods to eliminate crabgrass. Here are a few tips from our Nutrite Experts:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
1- <\/strong>In spring: examine your lawn<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
First, it is important to inspect your lawn early in the season. If you see it when it’s still very young, you can afford to pull it out. Cutting it down at this stage is surprisingly effective. However, if it already has 3 to 4 rows of leaves, it would mean that it is already bearing seeds. Pulling it out at this stage would have the opposite effect.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
2- <\/strong>In August: avoid spreading the seeds<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
