Do you know of a pre-emergent to kill the seed heads?

Am i asking that right?

Also we do plan on fertilizing but that takes years to see the results. Until then I am digging them up, I'd rather dig, then dig them out of wool..ouch!!.LOL

Contact your local Texas Ag Life agent. They should have a list of chemicals that will control grassburrs.

A Pre-emerge chemical will inhibit the seed in the ground from living long enough to make a viable plant after it germinates.

Do a search for "Treflan" or "Prowl" herbicides. Another chemical to look at is "Lasso". Those 2 are in the chemical class referred to as "yellow herbicides". Many people do not like to use them for various reasons. Or, for a chemical that will supress crab grass.

The usual disclaimer: Always read and follow label instructions before using any chemical.
