| This may be a stupid question. I've got an area on my property that is really lousy soil quality complete with rocks and clay. Weeds seem to grow GREAT there, but grass, not so much. I don't really care that much about this area EXCEPT that when it rains my dogs will tear around in the area and get all muddy. I just want to eliminate that issue, and wondering if it's possible to actually PLANT crabgrass on purpose??? If that entire area became 100% crabgrass I'd be pretty happy actually. |

| If you could find the seed for sale I suppose you could, but crabgrass is an annual, and dies out every fall. So you would have no yard till next summer, and that's assuming your crabgrass produces enough seed to produce full coverage. There are much better solutions than crabgrass for ground cover other than grass. |

| Thanks tiemco - what would you suggest? I'm in Southern Oregon where it's usually dry, somewhat cold in the winter, 100+ in the summer. I just want something in that area other than dirt so my dogs can run around in that spot and not get muddy when it is wet. |
