  • Larry,

    My yard is full of crab grass this year! The only complaint I have is that it grows so thick it makes for alot of raking later.

  • I couldn't agree with you more! I live in CA where we're told we can only water our lawns under pain of death, the state will pay us good money to remove our lawns, all that fancy sod I planted is completely dead and still my local garden expert has told me that if I allow this crabgrass free rein, my neighbors will run me out of town! The ONLY thing that's green is the crabgrass! It's absolutely lush, like a carpet to walk on and a beautiful shade of green. I've read up on it (how I came across your blog) and the only problem I see is that it is supposed to die out in winter but since we've stopped having winter here in CA even that's not a problem! Anyway, YOU, whoever you are, are the ONLY person who feels as I do! Good for us!!!

  • I couldn't agree more! I once had a yard full of crabgrass that was green and lush. I spent a tremendous about of money purchasing Scotts weed and feed, Ortho crabgrass eliminator, and so on to get rid of it and it still comes back in some places. So we are in a drought and my Scotts lawn is brown and looks like straw the only place I have green left is the little bit of crabgrass I have that came back. My neighbor has a beautiful-looking lawn that is deep green hearty and all crabgrass. I'm convinced it is driven by Corporate profits to bad-mouth crabgrass so we can spend money trying to fight it. I am hoping crabgrass takes back my yard. I only wish that there is a way to actually promote it by seeding it.
