Scotts Lawn Builder Buffalo

I have used different hose sprayer fertilisers before and I always find them a bit fiddly, but this one worked without any dramas. After attaching the hose and turning on, the fertiliser came out evenly. I noticed improvements in the lawn the very next day. Well pleased.

This stuff was not soluble in water, clogged up the dispenser it came in, the sprayer I transferred it to, and my watering can. The Scotts website claims - 'Unlike most liquid fertilisers which are readily washed off plants, Buffalo binds to leaves, stems and soil particles and will not wash off once dry'. It is liquid plastic. Stay away.

Absolutely rubbish this product. Bought two bottles and not one of them worked. Also bought a new hose (50m) to ensure that I would not have to extend two short hoses. If I knew it I would have not worried about this at all. It's just terrible that Bunnings offers a nonsense product such as this one on their shelves...well, maybe Scotts paid great listing money to Bunnings.

Packaging looks good, feed your lawn, child and pet friendly, made for buffalo but it’s all downhill from there. The dispensing mechanism simply doesn’t work. I exchanged the product thinking I simply had a faulty container, same issue. A neighbour also had the same issue. Seen reviews of other Scotts products which use the same dispensing system and they all complain of the same thing. won’t be buying another Scotts product again.
