Need Ideals on getting control of crabgrass. Live in Central Alabama-Birmingham. Just put down new sod-Bermudagrass on June 3, 2016. First cut was 7/9/16. Some of the grass turn light brown and began to see some crabgrass a few days later and some clover type weeds. Began to pull up by hand. Now it has gotten about six inches and in bunches. Cut the grass about five inches high today 7/23/16 and put down some Spectracide-Weed Stop For Lawn plus Crabgrass Killer. Any care tips.
