For it to work it does not cover very much and you usually need 2applications to kill crab grass. Maybe 2000 sq ft per bottle ?

Hi! I don't know the specific answer to this question, because I don't know what kind of root system crabgrass has. The Fiskars weeder works wonderfully on single-root weeds, so if crabgrass has just one central root, this should work for you. Hope that helps! :)

I'm not a lawn guy. These are used for germinating seeds to be planted into pots. But if you aereated your lawn and purposely punched holes in it, the holes are supposed to remain there for a little while and they fill from the sides over time all by themselves. Air, water, and nutriends (usually fertilizer) go down the holes and help keep the roots from getting compacted and choked off from things that come down from the surface of the lawn.Again, DISCLAIMER: I am not a lawn guy and you will need to make your own determination about what to do in your own situation.

Crabgrass generally doesn't emerge in MA until the soil warms in June-July - I would apply this in the May-June timeframe. April is the time to apply broadleaf weed control fertilizers.

I have marathon grass and it did not kill the grass. It was somewhat effective in killing the oxalis but it never killed it completely.

Sorry I don't have the answers. I live in a very sandy area and have been pleased with the 3 claw model for pulling sandburs and crabgrass. As the soil is extremely sandy it works great, heavy soil may be a different story.

I applied XLR8 in the spring. Crabgrass needs to be growing as it is absorbed through the leaves of the plant. Great stuff!

Maybe,,,, I purchased to pick up small leaves, junk in the lawn. Like some of the others,,, does miss some I would give it about 60%,,, windy 40% I have Bermuda grass,,,, I have very small tress have not used it the fall for a big job of raking... It does pick up the dried grass ( I use a grass catcher when I mow) leaves spots sometimes,,,, so when I go over the these spots it does pick up 50% I'm Okay with the product Not Excited A lot of the stuff flicks out of the front,, if you lower or elevate the opening gets bigger so stuff flicks out,,, if you get the cover down to ground to hard to roll..tears the grass up Again it's ok Probably would not recommend,, but a better quality sweeper..

I should think so. It kills crab grass in New Jersey, and crab grass is a tough weed here. It is a "broad-spectrum" herbicide, so it kills grass and all ground vegetation. However, you must use generous amounts and saturate weeds. It is worth it to me as I we have a well for our water needs - Vinegar doesn't pollute groundwater as some popular herbicides do. I hope this helps.

Leave it. Your grass will over take it while the dead crabgrass withers away.

Well directions say it has to happen during germination ... Which I assume to be spring. I'd test it on a small area and see the results. It did not seem to kill crabgrass on the spot. Kind of seemed to help the other parts of my lawn from the crabgrass invasion so to speak.

Treat the crabgrass with Drive XLR8 first. Fertilizer application requires that it be watered. Do not fertilize and water crabgrass that you want to kill. Drive XLR8 with a surfactant is the best crabgrass killer I have used. The crabgrass will be dead in two (2) days; then fertilize and water the good grass. My Bermuda grass is spreading to fill-in the rather large dead spots.

It kills Bermuda Grass. If that is what you have it will work and will not disturb other plants in the vacinity.

I bought this product specifically to get rid of a nasty batch of Japanese knotweed. It worked just as promised, but I have not tried it on grass per se. It took half the bottle to spray just the leaves of the knotweed. Surely St. Gabriel should be able to help you. I called with a question and they were very helpful. Good luck

You can but seems to be overkill. If u have Crabgrass problem then just use said product, if general control needed just use the weed and feed.
