    Q
    Can I use Crossbow this fall without killing the grass to eliminate teasel? How often do I need to spray this area?
    A farmer plowed one of my areas but then did not plant it. Before it had tall natural grass growing, but now the area is a mess with lots of teasel and queen anns lace. There is some form of grass growing there too, but in the minority. The field has been mowed the last 2 years with a woods mower, but has not eradicated the teasel at all;in fact its spreading.
