Re: CULT: Pre-germinant weed control

I'm behind on reading my e-mail, so somebody may already have made 
this point.  If so, sorry to duplicate, but I wanted to answer before 
I forgot.  Re crab grass:  it is an annual grass, and though the 
plant, once growing spreads out by growing roots from every nodule in 
the stem, it recurs because of seeds, not spreading from the roots.  
It can be eliminated by pre-emergent weed killers, which is the way 
it is dealt with most often in lawns.  Major pest here, I have to 
spray every few years (including next spring) to deal with it.
