This year saw an incredible invasion of crabgrass, literally took over 1/2 of my lawn. Anyone have any good methods of getting rid of it? This stuff is very thick and seems to have squeezed out the nice grass. My initial idea was to rototill, rake and reseed, but Swamp has suggested not tilling. (Thanks Swamp, I really didn't feel like tackling that job...) Suggestion was to cut very short and over seed. My question - would letting it burn after being cut short be beneficial? maybe spreading plastic or tarps over it to kill it, then overseeding?
