Seeding

20120402-215334.jpgIt’s that time of year again when I plant a new garden, nurture my flower beds and sit on the deck with a glass of wine admiring our beautiful lawn…. Wait a minute! There in the distance is crabgrass! Yikes!

I thought I would never see crabgrass in my lawn, but there it is and it’s ruining my view. So, we decide it’s time to aerate and seed the lawn in the hopes that the new grass will take over the crabgrass, however, someone just informed me that the only way to get rid of crabgrass is to kill it with RoundUp.

So, which is it? Will the new grass that we just seeded into the lawn over grow the crabgrass or do I need to ruin my entire lawn with some sort of weed killer?
