Is there any way to remove crab grass for good? That stuff just flourishes in my front bed, and the roots are crazy long.
Ah, the age old, ‘How to kill Crabgrass’ question!
You’ve got to bring out the Big Guns for that stuff!

There’s another product I’ve used in strawberry and asparagus beds called ‘Over The Top’ which will kill grass, but not the plants.
Otherwise weed it as soon as you see it, or spot spray with Roundup or an organic equivalent.
I agree - it’s some awful stuff!
Crab grass the only way we could get rid o it was to dig it out when the soil was dry and get all the roots.
Fortunately, we have had no problems with crab grass.
Unfortunately, that means I have no self-tested solutions to tell you about when it comes to getting rid of it.
I do have this recipe called WEED BE GONE:
1 Gallon of vinegar
2 cups of Epsom Salts
1/4 cup of Dawn Dish Soap
Advertised to kill anything you spray it on.
Spray in the Morning and it’s dead by dinner time.
