Recently I converted to organic lawn care. My lawn is relatively weed free except for one area that has some crab grass. After digging these weeds, and also some of the St. Augustine grass with it, I took a section of 2" PVC pipe about 6 inches long, placed it on the core of the crab grass and sprayed "Round-up" (ugh) on them, through the pipe. This worked like a charm, and all the weeds are on their last leg. I would assume that the inner cardboard core of the used roll of toilet tissue would work as well.

I hope that the only bad effect will be the sterilization of the small amount of soil around the roots of the plant.
