    Q
    Does Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer kill japanese stilt grass and/or moss?
    Does Drive XLR8 kill japanese stilt grass and/or moss? I want to kill stiltgrass but not the moss,
    A

    Unfortunately, Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer is not labeled to kill Japanese stiltgrass. We would recommend a product like Bonide Over the Top II Grass Killer instead. This would not damage the non-grass ornamental plants you have while taking care of the stiltgrass when use based on the product label.

    Q
    How long after spraying Drive XLR8 Herbicide can I fertilize?

    There is not a specific amount of time you need to wait to apply your fertilizer after applying Drive XLR8 Herbicide. Since Drive works best when it has at least 24 hours to dry after application, then waiting at least 1 day before watering or applying a liquid fertilizer would be advantageous.

    Q
    Any idea on best way to remove dead crabgrass after treating with Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer?
    Product seems to be working, now I have to remove dead crabgrass, looking for ideas/suggestions.

    Depending on the quantity and density of the dead grasses, you can remove dead plant material by hand pulling, hand digging with a spade, or by tilling if it is a very large area without desirable grasses. Be sure that the root system is completely dead of you are hand pulling treated areas.

    Can Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer be mixed with Surge Broadleaf Herbicide?
    Can i mix Drive XLR8 with Surge Broadleaf Herbicide for turf in my 20 gal tank?? Thank U

    We would not recommend mixing Surge Broadleaf Herbicide and Drive XLR8 Herbicide in the same tank. Per the label of Surge Herbicide, this product should not be mixed with a surfactant because it will damage your turf grass. Drive XLR8 requires one.
