Post Emergent Crabgrass and Broad Leaf Control

[Jared_P]

Just wondering if I can use a post emergent crabgrass spray and a broad leaf spray back to back or if it is suggested to wait between. I have a noticeable patch of crabgrass I need to spray and I also want to spot spray some dandelions as well...Suggestions?

You can use back to back. There are products out there that control both crabgrass and broadleaf weeds.

Are you sure you have crabgrass? Seems kinda early.

Yea most likely not crabgrass. I would guess its quack grass....break out the Round-Up.

Jared is it taller than the regular grass? Alot of people get the two mixed up.

I have a spot at the end of the driveway that is always plagued with crabgrass every year...it is not up yet but I wanted to be ready for when it does. Dandy's have been minimal so far this year so I am going the spot spray way...I figured when I get ready to do that, the crabgrass should be ready to spray as well.

But doesn't RoundUp kill everything, including your desirable grass?

I've got massive weed problems on our 9 acres after last summer's drought. By mid-August, after weeks of really dry weather, all our grass went dormant and the only thing left growing were weeds! Needless to say we had a bumper crop of nearly every weed one can think of.

Any suggestions on a broad spectrum, reasonably priced, liquid herbicide I can apply with a pull behind broadcast sprayer? I'm thinking right now, just following our heavy rains, and before all the weeds start to bloom, would be the perfect time to hit these buggers hard.
