Question

Caring for your lawn sometimes involves dealing with unwanted plants. Crabgrass is a type of plant that invades many lawns in the U.S., and it can be difficult to find the best way to eliminate it. Crabgrass is very good at surviving without much water. Just ask a botanist. They are scientists who study plants. They will tell you that lawns need to be treated to remove things like crabgrass, or it can quickly take over the other grass. The process can be challenging, but there are smart ways to do it. Just ask a botanist.
