Many thanks to all who replied in this thread. Apart from crabgrass
and Bermuda grass, there is also Kikuyu Grass. We are blessed with
all three of them. Among the 3 methods for controlling this type of
grass:
I like the rye or ryegrass best, since it permits to grow new biomass
in the process. I actually had some patches with rye and ryegrass in
the winter, so far they seem to be free of crabgrass, but the real test
will come in the summer.
I also noticed that places with plantago lanceolata and plantago maior
(plantain) are free of crabgrass, but I dont know how effective they
are for combating this type of grass.
