seeded after applying crabgrass preventer
Comments (1)It will probably germinate, as the preemergent forms a barrier in the soil and you have given the new grass an inch or two of new soil above the barrier. Once the roots get to the preemergent, they (the roots) could just stop growing, the chemical could stunt the grass plant as a whole, or it could kill it. Depending on the chemical you used, it might wear out by the time the roots get to it, and nothing will happen. What is the active ingredient in your preemergent?....See MoreCrabgrass!? or some other
Comments (11)I believe wire grass is another name for coastal bermuda. It only grows near the Gulf of Mexico. That's definitely not crabgrass. It is going to be difficult to eradicate since it is a grassy weed growing in grass. Grass killers are going to kill both. Dealing with it might involve some tough love where you kill it and a little bit of the Black Beauty. But then you reseed with more Black Beauty and life goes on....See Moreorganic clover & crabgrass prevention
Comments (15)Hello folks. This is my first post, but I have found your comments in all the other forums helpful to a novice such as myself. I have a serious problem with my soil. Take in mind I don't own the property but would like a nice green lawn. The ground is hard as concrete and even after I have tilled it to a depth of approx. 10" the landlord was able to (easily) drive through it with his truck w/o getting mired up. I have put lime, Scotts starter fertilizer and Milorganite (sp?) on it and let it set for a couple of weeks to let it blend in. I have Scott's Tall Fescue (supposedly self repairing) and some clover I intend to put down with it. In addiction, there are seriously sunny spots and seriously shady spots. The sunny dries out very fast and leaves the ground hard so the seed (I planted in sections) doesn't come up or dies shortly thereafter) and an ugly green fungus or moss invades the shady spot. Is there an aerator product that someone can suggest (that is reasonably priced) that will help with the hard soil and the moss in the moist (shady) areas? Thank you for your comments and help.

Comments (6)Jonathan Green does make non-organic products, so you do have to double check, but these two products look fine to me. I think kimmsr is referring to some of their other fertilizers, which do indeed use synthetics. Both the products you mentioned look excellent to me. The Mir-a-Cal covers so much more lawn because it is Calcitic lime rather than Dolomitic. Calcitic has almost double the amount of calcium without the Magnesium. If you need Magnesium, then regular Dolomitic would be fine as well. I don't see any issues with the Love your lawn product either, although I have no experience with it. I have used Jonathan Green Corn Gluten Meal, listed as "Organic Weed Control" and had no complaints. I think I actually liked it better than Espoma, because it was finer partials so you could really ensure you "blanketed" the weed seed. None of these products will eliminate the dandelions. You will need to put in some elbow grease. Get a Weed Hound and start popping them out. Then in the fall use Corn Gluten Mean and again in the spring. The key to weed prevention is a thick lawn and correct timing of Corn Gluten Meal. Love Your Lawn - Ingredents...See MoreJesse H
