after you use poast and it kills your crab grass, you need to spray with dacthal it is a pre emergence it will kill the seed in the ground so it will not come up,you can also spray on pumpkins but need to have at least 5 leafs,dacthal is a powder comes in a four lb bag cost less than 20.00 dollars,if you cant find it there is a place here that sells poast for a small bottle for less than 20.00 dollars
