[nms:crabgrass,1,0,0,616]
Once Crabgrass gets foothold in your lawn it can be difficult to fend off (even with the best pre-emergent control products. Here is what we recommend!
The first step is to purchase our Crabgrass Killer!. This chemical is formulated to specifically attack the roots of crabgrass! It is a Post-emergence control for grassy weeds in Bermuda, zoysia and bluegrass lawns.
It kills crabgrass, sandbur, dallisgrass, johnsongrass, goosegrass, barnyardgrass and more.
This concentrate and will cover up to 4,000 square feet! For Blue Grass mix 2 oz (4 tablespoons) in 1 gallon of water to cover 200 sq. ft. Spot treat the areas that are infested with crabgrass.
The second step is critical for optimal application – always mix a “Spreader Sticker” with the weed killing chemical.
The “spreader sticker” we recommend is called Wilt Pruf. Mixing a spreader sticker (1 oz. per gallon) with a weed killer will ensure the chemical spreads over the entire foliage area and then sticks! As an added benefit, it will keep an application from washing off during an unexpected spring rain storm!
The weed should begin to wilt and brown within 5 days – spot treat as needed every two weeks until you have killed off that nasty crabgrass! It should not take more than 2-3 applications to wipe out event he most mature crabgrass.
A couple of other notes: For best results, apply Crabgrass Killer to the lawn in the morning (after dew has dried) on a sunny, calm day to allow maximum absorption of the weed killer.
Higher temperatures result in a quicker uptake of this product for faster control. However, do not apply Crabgrass Killer if temperatures exceed 90 degrees. If daytime temperatures are expected to exceed 90 degrees, apply the product in early morning when it is cooler.
The combination of these two products will take care of your weed problem!

Mutts are New Favorites of Dog Lovers
Want to be in style? Get yourself a mutt. Today, it’s more fashionable to have a mixed breed [nmslink:dog, dog] than a perfect Afghan hound or Yorkshire terrier. The well-heeled are strolling with them on city streets, and movie stars are proud of them.
Short-haired, shaggy, tall, or small, no two are alike says fashion maven Isaac Mizrahi. He has a golden retriever-border collie mix he adopted from a New York shelter in 2000.
Lovable and healthy mixed breeds are fetching more attention. Bert Hawkins of the Lexington, Ky., Humane Society, quoted in USA Today, says people are deciding that a dog’s personality and level of need are as worthy as pedigrees.
Adoption fairs featuring mixed-breed dogs are showing up in some high-class places such as the Los Angeles’ Super Adoption Festivals. They are “wildly successful,” according to Best Friends, the host organization.
They’re not only lovable, they generally healthier. Veterinarians note that many purebreds have a propensity for medical problems, such as tumors, dysplasia, and allergies.
The American Kennel Club says purebred registrations have dropped mostly because of high registration fees and DNA requirements. But part of the reason is that more people are choosing mixed-breed mutts or “hybrid” combos such as the cockapoo, a cocker spaniel/poodle mix, or Pugles, a pug/beagle mix.

Beauty Buzz: Waxing has many benefits
Your cosmetologist may be shocked when you say you actually use a razor to remove fine hair from your face. She should be. For a woman, this is a dangerous, frequent task and one that encourages new and thicker growth.
There are many benefits to waxing versus other forms of [nmslink:hair removal, hair removal]. Waxing is a long-lasting method. Hair in waxed areas will not grow back for three to eight weeks. When the hair does grow back, it’s soft and thin.
When hair is shaved or removed by depilatory cream, it is removed at the surface rather than the root. Within a few days, new hair growth can be seen at the surface. With these methods, hair tends to grow back in a rough stubble.
Areas that are repeatedly waxed over long periods of time often exhibit a thinning of regrowth, and regrowth that is thinner and lighter in color. Waxing areas include face, eyebrows, legs, and bikini area. For men, they include the chest and back.
