For the cost and effectiveness, I would not buy this product again. Using the recommended doage, the herbicide only stunted the growth of some weeds, and even killed some of the grass. Most of the wee…

It didn't work.
By C in Texas on 04/22/2023
I read the description and applied it accordingly. It really didn't work at all. The crabgrass is growing.
Expert response:
When using Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer for crabgrass, it’s best to apply at either the very young stage or the most mature stage of the crabgrass. When treating between the 2-4 tiller stage, repeat application may be required and may not get complete control. You should make your applications while temperatures are between 65 and 85 degrees for best results.
