A gentle way to keep the rabbits from eating in your garden.

3. It's a fairly prolific seeder.

It grows in lot of areas where more "politically correct" grasses will not grow. Drought tolerant and doesn't mind poor soil. You can actually order seeds on line because farmers consider it a very nutritious foraging grass.

From my point of view, it never was invasive. I didn't plant it in the front yard. which was mostly pine trees, oaks, dogwoods etc. I think crabgrass likes sun. Doesn't grow too high, unlike the rye grass, which is lush in winter, but which basically looks like hay at the beginning of summer.

Oh, I never ordered crabgrass seeds--it just appeared, which is seems to do all over the place. I heard complaints about it all through my childhood. LOL
