Question:

How do I control crabgrass in my flower bed?

Answer:

Crabgrass is an annual weed.  In flower and vegetable gardens, hoeing and hand pulling are the best control options.  When cultivating the garden, avoid deep tillage.  The roots of many vegetables and flowers grow near the soil surface.  Deep cultivation will cut off some of these roots.  Also, deep cultivation will bring deeply buried weed seeds to the soil surface where they can germinate.  Hand pulling is best done after a good rain.
