| I have a lot of this stuff growing in my st. augustine lawn - http://i.imgur.com/yKWFz.jpg:
I'm pretty sure that's bermuda, but someone told me it's crabgrass. Either way, I want to get rid of it. How do I get rid of it? Dig it up? Use Roundup? Leave as is and hope st. augustine takes over? |

That's bermuda, not crabgrass. If you have many hours of shade there during the day, you can encourage the St Aug by mowing it high and fertilizing around the bermuda. You could try RoundUp. Of course that will kill the St Aug, too, but if you can get all the bermuda before you kill all the St Aug, then the SA should come back. Something else you might try is baking soda. St Augustine is extremely sodium tolerant while bermuda is less tolerant. Baking soda has a lot of sodium in it and can be used to kill several weeds in St Augustine. For more information there is a video on YouTube about this. Go to YouTube and search for "baking soda" crabgrass St Augustine and see what you get. |

| I see a good healthy stand of Bermuda, but where is the SA?. Looks to me like you ought to spray wish herbicide and kill off the SA. |
