has anyone heard of using baking soda on crabgrass?

Answer 1

You could probably use it on crabgrass if you had to kill a fungus. It won't kill the grass only some fungi.
If you are wanting to kill the crabgrass and you don't want to pull it then try Ortho Grass-B-Gone.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet. In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood. Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones. In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

Haven't heard of this. Are you confusing baking soda with borax(which is used for killing creeping charlie)?
The best way to get rid of crab grass is to pull it by hand-seriously. If it's out of control kill it with crab grass killer (almost always requires two to three applications). Then put down pre-emergent next year to kill the seeds when they germinate. Don't put it down before June 1st if you live in zone 5 . Most lawn care experts(?) recommend putting it down too early and it loses it's effectiveness before the seeds even germinate. That's why people usually get crab grass even after applying a pre-emergent.
After you've done the above you should be able to pick it by hand in future years. Trust me, it will be managable, and almost fun. Your neighbors will wonder how you do it! Also remember, seeds can lie dormant for years, so look for it every year. After a few years you won't be pulling more than few annually. I'm at the point where I pick about 10-15 per year. Also, the seeds are not spread by the wind so much as by birds, so ...quit feeding the birds and you will see fewer weeds of all kinds in your yard. Good luck!
