Nimblewill being a warm season grass has a competitive advantage over the
cool season grasses i.e. bluegrass, fescues, and rye grasses and so from the
fall to mid spring lawns have big patches of "dead looking turf" that does not
green up until late April. That crap can take over an entire lawn in a few
seasons and the only way to really control it is to mark it then kill it after it
starts growing and then reseed the areas.
