What I found shocked me! The data show that soil temperatures reached 52 degrees F. on Feb. 24 in 2000, Feb. 25 in 2001, Mar. 14 in 2002 and Mar. 4 in 2003. My timing advice has been wrong ! To get good crabgrass control in Atlanta you should apply the pre-emergent on March 1, not March 15.Otherwise the seed will sprout beforehandâ¦.and most pre-emergent chemicals do not control crabgrass seedlings.hat I found shocked me!

  0.4 of an inch Answer   There are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch, so 1 centimeter is 0.394 inches.
In 1959 the inch was set to be exactly 2.54 centimeters. Prior to that, it was set at 39.37 inches per meter. The difference is only 0.0002%, or 2 parts per million. The new definition is slightly smaller than the old definition. See US Survey unit description below.
