| After reading previous posts, I still have a question: Does baking soda hurt the soil permanently or just temporarily? Will it help to apply a thin layer of compost after killing the dollar weed in the St Augustine lawn? What is the next step after that? A good organic fertilizer? Suggestions? I am killing the dollar weed in sections. I tried to pull it, but it is tightly woven into the grass and it is spreading everywhere.
Thanks!!! |

| I have not tested putting pure baking soda in soil. I have mixed it with water to kill fungi and it does work. Also, I was told that BS are non-targeted meaning it will kill anything. So yeah, you might want to restore the good organisms you have killed by putting compost. Some people use ACT and have had good results. |

| Hello all. I had a few small patches of Crabgrass trying to invade my Bermuda grass. The Crabgrass is gone. Thanks everyone. Good day. |

| Hmmm? What's this about baking soda killing crabgrass? I was unable to find the "dusting with baking soda procedure" thread, but i have horrible problems with crabgrass. Do tell! Do tell! |
