Removing Crab Grass Spots

Removing Grab Grass Spots
Crab grass is undoubtedly one of
the worst lawn pests in many sections
of Maryland. This is an annual which
comes from seed each year in early
summer. 1t spreads rapidly, taking
root at the joints and smothers out
the better lawn grasses. 1t persist
emily reseeds in spite of close now
ing. However, the fact that the seeds
terminate in late spring gives the cue
to effective methods of fighting this
weed. If the growth of good grasses
can be stimulated in the early spring
to form a thick sod, it is difficult for
the crab grass to gain a foothold.
Therefore, a well established lawn
should be fortified regularly, espec-
tally in early spring.
The 1880 drouth injured lawns in
many sections so that crab grass was
able to flourish and smother out the
lawn grasses. Fall is usually the best
time to correct these troubles, but if
the re-seeding has been neglected it
should be tended to early in the
spring. Bare spots should be raked
up lightly and reseeded with a good
grass mixture. Ordinarily freezing
and thawing will cover the seed suf-
ficiently if planted the last of Febru-
airy or early in the March.
One of the best treatments after
this early seeding is to put over the.
entire lawn a thin layer of compost.
This seems to have a stimulating eff
feet in the termination of grass seed.
If we'll rotted manure or woods earth
is not available, a good loan soil may
be mixed with pulverized sheep ma
nure and bone meal together with a
little peat moss.
