Attack of the Crab Monsters [VHS]
$19.95
Scientists discover that a pair of giant crabs mutated by atomic tests is responsible for the disappearance of researchers on a remote island. The crabs, which assimilate the voices and intellects of their victims, slowly destroy the island as they thin out the rescue party until a do-or-die plan is hatched. This early effort by Roger Corman has been labeled as schlock due to its pulpy title and a…

What can I use to kill the crab grass in my flower beds that wont harm the flowers?
I have crab grass and other nasty weeds growing throughout my lawn and in my flower beds, is there anything I can use to treat both the weeds and crab grass that wont harm the lawn or flowers?
Is there something specific to use in flower beds?
I see you’re getting a lot of advice about pulling up the crabgrass by hand. This might sound like about as much fun as a tour of Dante’s vision of hell, but consider this:
The crabgrass is so-named because it has a sort of crab-like shape: a bunch of arms radiating out from a central spot. And that means if you pull out the central structure, you’ve got the whole thing. Here’s what I do:
The day before your attack on the c/g, water the area where they’ve taken root heavily. Let the water soak in overnight. Next morning, tug at some of the c/g and see how easily they come up. If they pull right out, keep going -you’ll be done faster than you think. Several may put up a fight. OK, pass by them and get the others. As you do this, you’ll notice big clumps of dirt on the roots. Shake that off in a bucket to capture some nicely loosened up dirt, or around the base of any needy specimens you wish to keep. Save the crabgrass for a compost pile -the ultimate revenge.
You might find that in pulling up the easy ones, you also loosen the soil a bit for the tougher ones, so go back and try them again. No good? Use a dandelion weeder (metal thing with a “forked tongue” on the business end and they’ll give up.
In areas that are exceptionally hard to reach, or where you might risk damage to the good plants, use your grass clipper and mow the c/g as close to the ground as you can. Then cover all your weeded area with mulch. If the c/g can’t get sun, it will die off, just as it does every year. If at all possible, avoid chemical warfare in the planting beds. The stuff may not “hurt” the desirable species, but over time and with repeated applications it does alter soil chemistry and CAN challenge microscopic organisms that contribute to over-all soil and plant health. If you MUST use something, make it a contact killer that you can precisely spray onto the weeds and NOTHING else.
In the yard, if its not too hot and dry, consistent mowing is a good initial control; the idea is to mow them before they produce seed. But if it is hot and dry, mowing too much and/or too low can damage the good grass. Live with the problem until early next spring when you should apply a fertilizer that contains a pre-emergent weed control -they’re labeled as such at the store. Especially along the margins of the lawn -at a driveway, next to a planting bed, around trees, etc., you’ll see the occasional big hunk of c/g. Pull out these individuals.
