Natural Weed Control

This is always a nice time of the year as we receive natural weed control from mother nature.  This year we had more crabgrass in the golf course rough than in years past due to our reduction in a pre-emergent herbicide applied in the spring.  Crabgrass is an annual grassy weed that germinates in the spring, grows in the summer, and seeds out and dies off as the weather gets cooler in the fall and during the first frost.

Right now those crabgrass plants are turning purple and starting to die off. Once the first frost hits we will see the plants disappear.
