Q: What’s the difference between Johnsongrass and crabgrass?

• <div><p>Johnsongrass and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-get-rid-crabgrass.htm">crabgrass </a>are invasive weeds that can overtake your lawn. Crabgrass is a low-growing grass most often seen in lawns, flower beds, and vegetable gardens. While you may find Johnsongrass growing in your lawn, it will also grow in pastures, crop fields, and the edge of the road. Johnsongrass is much coarser than crabgrass. If left alone, Johnsongrass can grow up to 8 feet tall. </p></div>

Q: What tool is used to remove unwanted grass?

• <div><p>Several tools exist that can help remove unwanted grass. The one you choose depends greatly on how much you need to remove and how hard you'd like to work. A sod or turf cutter is the fastest method while using a shovel is labor-intensive and much slower. You may also need a garden rake, tiller, and wheelbarrow. </p></div>

Q: What types of fertilizers or treatments are recommended for lawns?

• <div><p>Choosing fertilizers: slow-release for steady nutrients, organic for eco-friendliness, or specific blends for soil deficiencies or grass types.</p></div>

Q: What kills weeds down to the root?

• <div><p>There are many options to eradicate weeds right down to the roots. Vinegar works, but it takes a week or so to do its thing, and the same goes for many commercially available herbicides. Boiled water is a quick way to kill off roots, or you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/controlling-weeds-yard-and-garden.htm">pull up weeds</a> at the root.</p></div>
