I used a crabgrass-killer spray successfully a few times. I had a GREAT front lawn, and every once in while the crabgrass invaded and I'd beat it back. But one day I got sloppy about mixing the crabgrass-killing concentrate with water. I made it a bit too strong, and killed large areas of my formerly-perfect lawn along with the acursed crabgrass.
It looked like the Ho Chi Mihn Trail after a year of Agent Orange. It was deader than last year's bird-nest. Dead. Dead. Dead.
I'm still pissed off about that.

That's funny... I bought a cheap fertilizer spreader one time along with some good quality fertilizer. Of course the bag didn't have the settings for my cheap spreader listed so I had to guess. I guessed really, really wrong! I had long stripes of dead grass where I overlapped the path. Another part of the yard I killed everything. I watered the hell out of it and hoped that the grass would come back but ended up with what look like a desert.
I was really pissed too. Took two years to get it back to looking good again...
