Goose Grass

I had a “significant” goosegrass problem in a few areas of the lawn several years ago, but no longer since I started using pre-emergent herbicides. I doubt if I see more than couple plants a year now.

yea. Missed my window as I closed on the house in May and didn't really get busy with the lawn until June.

Hopefully next year things will go better, learning Pre Emerg would have been a game changer for the lawn.

Sucks because I'm getting some great patches of bermuda in a lot of other areas thank to advice from folks on here.

Anyone have any post emerge solutions? I've been spot spraying with 2,4 quinclorac and not getting much traction.

Thanks Craw. Appreciate it, wasn't finding a lot on google besides the box store stuff I was already using but this is a great reference.

Since you have bermuda use Specticle. That stuff is fantastic. I would not do back to back applications of that though. I have seen it delay green up by as much as a month.

That's it, aka silver crab grass I think its called.

It's a real bitch for me right now and pops up in July, just when I thought things were starting to turn.

Also goose grass is an indicator of compaction.

Yea, my soil is pretty rough but I just aerated a couple weeks ago, was probably too late.
