Is this a weed or what type of grass?

11 years ago

Thanks for your time, I overseeded in late may with scott's Kentucky bluegrass and sunny mix and also scotts sunny/shade mix for my bare spots on my front lawn. I put new turfbuilder soil down as well, but this is now growing everwhere. Can someone please tell me if this is grass or a weed? Is it coming from the seed, new soil I laid or if I didnt till the old soil well enough.

I can't really tell from the pictures, but the ones that are excluded are improbable. You can use it with seeds if you don't want the seeds to grow. It should also not be used on any new grass until the grass has been mowed at least three times.

I wonder if there is a poison for this that would kill only the crabgrass ??? I do know that this weed can do very little in a healthy well watered((IMO)) lawn..
