Post #2949345

I have issues with these two nasties every year and every year I poke around to see if anything new is introduced to help me get rid of these most unwanted volunteers. Just recently while poking around, I ran into a horticulturist who teaches and I am posting a link to his suggestions. I must admit that I was laughing throughout the whole thread until I got to the bottom where he evidently has been sent a sample and exclaims, "You have sent me one of the most beautiful samples of large crabgrass - Digitaria sanguinalis - I have ever seen! So good in fact, that I’m having it mounted to show to my future turfgrass management classes".

Call me slap happy over these two nasties but I found his comments to be extremely amusing. He has the patience of a saint and a sense of humor to boot. I suppose it gets old after a while. He did have some great suggestions regarding how to address quack in iris though.
