Nearly Accomplished the Glory

11 years ago

Hey all,

Just came across this board and thought I'd get your opinion. After 3 years I thought I'd finally achieved my dream lawn. I do all my own aerating, thatching, reseeding, everything as its become my favorite hobby. I battled crabgrass for years and have zero now. Same with many other weeds. BUT this year, a brand new weed is popping up SO frequently and in large areas, that i'm wondering how you think this could have happened? Its poa annua . I never had any before so its not like I just didn't control it in the past. How do you go from 0 to 10 in one winter with a new weed? My only thought is maybe it was in the fall overseading seed bag? I used The Rebels Tall Fescue Blend and checked all the labels (I still had the bags), and they all APPEAR normal ratios.

So Part 1) Ideas on how this happened over one winter?

Part 2) Kill now, leaving large yellow or dead areas in a perfect lawn, or just mow it for now, because when mowed it blends in with the grass and looks great. But deep down I know i'll be living a lie !

Thanks all!
