Does anyone know if this would have a negative impact on other healthy and well established plants in a plant bed ridden w crabgrass?

There was no negative effect on or around the treated lawn. All foliage around the application areas appears healthier.

It didn't hurt any other plants but it didn't get rid of my weeds. I used it on my grass and near flowers and trees it might do well in a small area.

I did not have any problems with that. I have a rock landscaped front yard with multiple bushes and shrubs. This killed the weeds where is spread it but none of the decorative shrubs were damaged at all.

It states on the package the product will defoliate any plant. As for actually "killing" the grass, roots and all, I would suspect not. It'll certainly damage the turf, and likely kill patches. But I don't know if I would rely on it to kill an area of turn in preparation for a planting bed, or something of that nature. By the same token, spraying weeds within your lawn will certainly result in turf loss in the areas sprayed.

I think it depends on the kind of grass you have. I live in central florida and have Bahia grass, and no problems so far.

I certainly believe that it would not harm any kind of grass. I have st Augustine grass in my backyard and Bahia on the side of the house (it was like this when I moved in) and a different type of grass in the front yard, and it has not negatively affected any of my grass or plants. It definitely helped stop the flea problem this house had when I first moved in.

I experienced no issues with plants or palms in southern Georgia using this product. It will make the yard and plants smell a little difret but other than that you should have no issues what's your plants outside or inside.

Can't claim to be an expert, since I've only had mine a month or so, but I tried leaving mine in the plastic seeding pot it came in, and the poor thing was not happy at all. Haven't figured out whether it was too wet or too dry or didn't like the lighting or what. I ended up repotting, and while the plant's not really happy yet, it's not dead, either. I intend to put it outside in the spring, if I don't manage to kill it indoors over the winter. It's supposed to like sandy, well-drained soil and shade.

My use is not less than 3.2 ounces per gallon from a towed tank sprayer and I agree with others that a little more can be used. Crabgrass appears to be very resistant to the mix though. Younger plants will start turning reddish in just over 7 days. Larger plants do not seem to notice it at all - back to selective use of round-up on them until a better crabgrass killer is found.

No - it is oxalic acid, which is naturally occurring. It does not harm the grass.

Read the directions carefully on the crabgrass preventer label to see if anything can be planted after using it. I use Round Up for weeds and the directions say that I can re-plant other plants after so many days or weeks. Some consider the white clover to be a weed so make sure the directions on any product used to eliminate crabgrass or other weeds states that the area can be safely re-planted after a period of time without killing the new plants.

No. According to the manufacturer, this cannot be used on St. Augustine. ( see here: http://www.bayeradvanced.com/lawn-care/products/all-in-one-lawn-weed-crabgrass-killer ; disclaim er on Pg. 3 of product label )

Not that I know of. If using in pots, just use your beter judgement and always go with less. I haven't had any issues with it. The bigger the plant, the more I would feel comfortable using.

it didn't harm mines i sprayed outside around the windows and inside. i only have aloe vera plants. ofcourse i didn't spray the plant directly just around the plant pot.

I am not sure if it is harmful to plants. I would take a look at diatomaceous earth food grade to protect your plants and or garden vegetation. Check out this video I believe it will be a great help to you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttv7YFfMnRE

It dethatches whatever you run it through, grass of any type. It might have a tendency of ripping crabgrass more because of the crabgrass runners but I wouldn't count on it removing it all.

Good news it's working. When you treat a large densely populated area it will look like everything is dead. I would let it go for a 10+ days and then start raking lightly. I would also no be afraid to treat again to make sure the next rounds of seeds don't have a chance to come back. It's important to seed with a good grass seed and fertilizer in middle September (northeast) to get grass to fill in. Next spring you need to try to prevent crabgrass with the many available fertilizers containing crabgrass prevention. The best solution to prevent crabgrass is a strong healthy lawn.
