My little brain was thinking, where is crabgrass right now, towards the end of the season. It is now established and most of the seeds for the year have been germinated
So where is it?
My observation is:
Not in lower light environments, it seems that the plant needs 6 hours+ of light
It is in compacted environments like near the driveway where the tires go over the soil (or dirt)
It likes dirt and not soil
It seems to be where the grass has been edged
It has now taken over any bare spots in the lawn that were there
In most cases, it seems like you could control it by limiting some of those factors
