This is going to sound like a really dumb question...but I admit I don't know...
This year, I finally decided to get serious about our lawn. It had been the joke of the neighborhood for years, so I religiously followed the Scotts fertilizer program -- and the lawn looks pretty darn nice, now. Very thick, lush grass and no bare spots.
So, I was looking closely at my grass this weekend and noticed that I have at least a couple different varieties. Then, I noticed something...and started to get lightheaded and felt sick to my stomach. Yes, the grass I had been loving was an impostor! Almost all of my lawn is crabgrass
I ran, tripping and crying into the house and told my wife about my horrific discovery. After I stopped hyperventilating, she said something very interesting. She said: "who cares? it looks really nice".
So, I'll probably put down pre-emergent in the Spring (Dimension), just because I KNOW that crabgrass is really bad. But -- why is it bad? And if it looks nice...who cares?
Thanks
