How to identify lawn weed?

Hello everyone, 

 

Could you please help me identify this weed?

Are these crab grass or winter grass?WhatsApp Image 2024-08-11 at 9.07.46 AM (1).jpegWhatsApp Image 2024-08-11 at 9.07.46 AM.jpegWhatsApp Image 2024-08-11 at 9.07.45 AM.jpeg

Re: Identifying weed

Hi @Neo19,

 

It could be either, but removal can be achieved similarly. Since this is a gravelled area and not a lawn, I'd recommend applying a non-selective weed killer, which will knock it off quickly. Remember to follow all safety precautions on the packaging.

 

For prevention, I suggest spraying the area with a path weeder periodically. This sticks around in the soil and prevents weeds from appearing for several months.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Mitchell
