Burnt lawn and turned healthy grass black

published

This product burnt weeds and our healthy green lawn. It is nothing like their liquid weed and feed product that we usually use attached to the hose. So disappointed that we used a different version of the product. Be really careful if you try this. Our lawn looked great with a few weeds and now looks terrible.

Thank you so much for your response. We have always loved and recommended your other products. Will let you know how we go. Hopefully our lawn returns to itself! Jacki

Lawn burnt also.

published

Burnt the leaf off our Nara turf also. Don’t know how this product would ever work without burning the way the application guides are currently worded. Salting without dilution is not best practice in my experience and is bound to severely damage any stressed plants. Would only recommend using this product in ideal situations.

Good product

published

Well ifuess the.people who gave 1 star either didnt follow.the instruction or used it.on the non recommended grass. Its definately not a.one.application transformation but does do a very good.job. process of watering thoroughly application then dont water for 2.days and start watering after that repeat the process every three months. I transformed my garden from weed fiekd to a decent grass kawn. Strongly recommend it

Beware: It ruined my perfectly healthy sir Walter buffalo lawn

published

Applied as per instructions on a beautiful healthy Sir Walter Buffalo Lawn. It has burned it significantly. Whilst I think it may recover in time (two weeks since application), it has started to show new growth, it is evident that it has been damaged by burning. Please be aware as other reviews have stated. I will now have to use Munn’s lawn builder to repair the extensive damaged. Should be withdrawn from sale.

Lawn looked good... for a while.

published

The lawn looked good in the couple of months after applying the product. Now a year later, we have bindis in places where we have never had bindis before. Been living at this property for 10 years now.. And all of a sudden the bindis are showing up in the same places weed and feed was spread for the first time? Seriously wondering if there are bindi seeds in the packet. Would be the ideal way to ensure the customers keep coming back.. Not happy Jan.

Wrecked my grass

published

I applied by eye (probably 1st mistake) other than that followed instructions. It made 70 per cent of my grass black and didn't even kill all the weeds ! Would not recommend unless you can accurately apply. Been 3 weeks with black grass now! Be aware as if you make a mistake it will have devastating results. Would never purchase again !

Happy with the results

published

I followed the instructions on the applying of the product: Yates Buffalo Pro Weed' n ' Feed granular. I applied the 2nd cover of the product 6 weeks later. In December I was away from my property, upon my return in early January my lawn was mostly weed free and green. I am happy with the results, and will be using this product again . I used a 10 kg 9310428548390 batch number.

Rubbish, waste of time. Created more trouble to resolve. This product should be taken off the shelve

published

I wish I had seen some independent product review's before I purchased Feed and Weed Granular. A waist of time and it created more problems than it solved.

I have been in extended correspondence with Yates regarding this product. Yates claim this product needs to be accurately applied. When I say accurately means exactly. My question is how does a home gardener do this? I used a mechanical device and Yates say it was not accurate enough. It burnt large patches (2 meter x 1 meter) of grass on my lawn.

This product should be taken off the shelves. Its a pity this review could not be submitted without any stars, that's what it deserves.

Excellent - worked as advertised

published

Followed directions, and most weeds were dead after 3 days, followed up a few patches with a 2nd batch which wiped all weeds out after a week. I only threw it on by hand, so the spreading may have been a bit inaccurate Can't comment on how the feed part went, no obvious results, but surely didn't hurt. Will definitely use again.

weed n feed granular.

published

I have bought a number of fertilisers for my Buffalo lawn, but none of it has worked.l bought the Yates weed n feed granular in Sept. and Oct. It is fantastic.Such a shame that it is only sold in 15kg bags, this only does a small area and becomes quite expensive when you have a quarter of an acre.

Date PurchasedSep 2016

Questionable results

published

First of all working out the correct dosage with a mechanical spreader (of another brand) was highly mathematical workout. One would expect that some conversions would be made available.

After having spread for bags of the product, following the instructions to the 't', I found that only patches that had extra dosage of the product, due to turning around and double dosing, had resulted in desired effect. More over only certain weeds got affected.

From the above I've reached the conclusion that the best line of action is using fertiliser and weed killer separately.

PS: Be sure to wash down your shoes before walking on concrete, as that could be the reason for staining.

Great product when used exactly as instructed

published

This works very well for me. It does an excellent job killing weeds, particularly thistles, without killing the grass around the weed. Apply the granules to damp grass and leave for 2 days before watering in well. If you don't water it in it will probably damage the grass. It is NOT suitable if you have any paving adjacent to the grass as it will almost certainly end up on the paving and stain it. Also it says do not walk on the grass and then on paving as this will transfer the granules.

Absolute Rubbish

published

Our beautiful stone paving is now ruined by this crap product! Applied as per instructions onto the grass, can't believe it can make such a mess of our paving! Wouldn't go near it ever again. Beware as NOTHING seems to remove it. Would rather have weeds and spend hours pulling them out by hand than apply this stuff!!!

Date PurchasedOct 2016

YOU'LL BE SORRY

published

This stuff ruined our new limesto ne path and paving. I followed the instructions and warninga on the packet and it still managed to get on to my hardscape areas and leave nasty orange stains. This product should not be on the market if it causes damage to anything. Will take class axtion by aggrieved customers to force them to take respinsibility for the damage?

I tried getting some help for an antidote from their customer service but they just came back with things like CLR which failed to lift the stains. Unbelievable

Always a good result for me

published

I've been a long time user for the Yates W & F granular. In fact I've use the liquid form in Early August but always use the granular form early Spring. The key is to slightly wet your grass before applying on a warm day and check the weather forcast as it really needs 2 days for penetration on those weeds. I have kikuyu grass and apply using a wheel version spreader.

Crap

published

Worst thing I have ever used lawn looks like camouflage now has put me off all Yates products. No way would I recommend to anyone unless I didn't like them infact, I will be telling everybody not to. Waste of money and time and turned my reasonable lawn to crap.

Should not be on the market

published

Used this product on a very nice lawn with few weeds. Cannot believe the result after I applied it at the specified dosage. Lawn went black and in most areas never recovered. This four months later. I have weeds where once there was grass due to the blackening of my grass. A terrible product which should be withdrawn from the market. If you want to destroy your lovely lawn use this rubbish.

Ruined my aggregate

published

Didn't kill any weeds but destroyed my aggregate! Wish I had never laid eyes on the stuff. I made sure I used the product correctly and followed the instructions. They should take this product off the market. Every time I walk outside I feel so depressed when I see my aggregate.

Questions & Answers

Sue

Sueasked

I used weed and feed granular on my lawn. Whist did green it up a little no weeds were killed. The major concern is that it has stained my new paving area. Rang customer service and they said to use CLR. This didn't work. I now have $4000 worth of paving marked with rust stains. Not happy. What can be done.

Hi Sue. I did not have that issue with the staining. However, my daughters lawn is still bare in many sections. After spreading the granules, and then watering in( as instructed), the granules are to this day( 14 months later), still on top of soil to rear yard. The granules turned white in colour- but hundreds are still scattered over yard. Needless to say, the lawn died in many areas and the weeds grew. Not happy with product at all.
On another note, a friend of mine swears by using hydro chloric acid as a means of cleaning pavers. Maybe try to look into the benefits of this product on pavers? Hope this helps
