[QUOTE="CJohnson, post: 1270245, member: 13695"] I have Q&B crabgrass and plant oats in the fall like you are wanting to do.. You have to be careful not to disk too deep or you will cover the crabgrass seed too deep and it will not come up next spring. Also, if you disc in August and get rain, some of the seed will sprout and you will get a mixture of oats and new crabgrass until frost kills the crabgrass. This happened to me last year, was enough time that the crabgrass put out another seed crop (even though was not tall as normal), and came up this spring. I could see where if you did not get rain until late, or had an early frost that you would lose that seed. However, there is enough hard seed that you would likely not have to replant the crabgrass.
