Yes I have tried baking soda (ok on St. Augustine but not other grasses) and it does kill the crab grass you see but by then it has already germinated and later returns. It does leave a bare spot and tends to stress the St. Augustine for a while but doesn’t kill it. Overall it is an ok way to temporarily control it and works as well as most other products I have tried, short of spraying weed killer and replacing sod. Once it spreads to major parts of the lawn there is really no great solution in St. Augustine.
