Been using for years but problems.
I have used weed and feed for a long time. (At least 30 containers have been used in my experience). Read the instructions and the results are subtle but there. All I have to do is look at my neighbours front lawn vs mine - we both mow once a week, however I weed and feed a couple of times a year. His lawn is 60% weeds. Mine is not.
The problem I have consistently had is that the Venturi style dispenser is very unreliable. MANY times now I have done half the lawn to find I’ve simply watered it. I just used it now, and it wouldn’t feed chemical...Read more
at all. Interestingly, I found my expensive brass automatic cut off hose fitting flows water out perfectly however there is no suction on the end of the tube. A cheaper non cut off hose fitting worked - however I believe the suction chemical flow to be lower then normal. I have had previous packets where the inner tube has fallen off before I even got it home, and other packets - no matter what you do, will simply not feed/suck the chemical into the water stream. I end up getting one that works and refilling it from other packets. A royal pain in the backside. All in all, the spray head is by far the biggest let down of the product. It dispenses at different rates and often not at all. I’m now looking for a reusable/ refillable hose dispenser and will consider other products as I’m sick of wasting so much time trying to know if it’s sucking the chemical into the water stream or not. If your a lazy lawn person. Use this product to stop the weeds, be patient, the results are there, some tougher weeds can do with another application in a weeks time, and you can try spraying from more then one direction to get better coverage.Purchased in January 2021.

Does what the instructions state
Read the instructions and follow these.
The product works really well; you'll see the broadleaf weeds start to wilt in a day or so and their death over the week.
If you're unsure about your lawn type, purchase the Buffalo Safe version (clearly labelled) to be certain not to damage your turf.

Killed my Kikuyu
Beautiful green lawn one week, spray this rubbish on my lawn to rid of some weeds and to feed it too. Went away for a week hoping to come back to the still, lovely green lawn only to find this it is all dead. Don't mind the weeds,they are still thriving. Contacted them and they are trying to pass the buck, asking me 20 questions. I had photos of my lawn prior to application. It is not safe on kikuyu as stated. Now I have dead lawn for Christmas. Oh and still now waiting for the outcome from them. Thanks very much Yates, I will never buy any of your products again.

Useless
Just spent an hour watering this product and pack has barely reduced. There is no tube or pump to be seen inside the pack so wondering how does the product rise to combine with the hose water? I think I have just been watering my lawn. Thought Yates were good products but have a negative opinion now.

Amazing results
Lived with a sparse, weedy, yellowing lawn for 5 years then sprayed Weed and Feed for the first time a couple of months ago. Now thick and dark green. Trouble is I have just doubled my lawn mowing chores. I had some nasty weeds which are being choked out although the winter grass is still there. Will definitely buy it again.
Hose connection fine - just remember to open the air intake hole in the bottle or the product wont come out.

ave started growing more vigorously now so I am downgrading to 4 stars. The lawn is rich and dark green and growing at a great rate thanks to Weed and Feed. I can see that the "Feed" aspect is much better than the "Weed" aspect. I am hoping a healthy lawn might choke out the weeds.Purchased in August 2021 at Bunnings Warehouse.

Beyond useless
We have a small average and we sprayed the whole lawn as per manufacture instructions. Did nothing at all except encourage the weeds to grow. Clovers, weeds and bindis all spreading.

Love it. Kills off sensitive weed and helps the grass.
Used this about 3 weeks ago on the back lawn that was covered in sensitive weed. Holy moly has it dropped a bomb on them. Grass is fine, its not buffalo grass, so its worked well.

Recently moved into a new place and couldn’t see the grass through all the weeds, I considered re-turfing but after 2 applications of weed n feed, I actually have grass! Would never have thought to try it if I hadn’t contacted the guys at Yates! Thank you Yates

Worst product ever. Do not buy!
Followed instructions exactly. Not one single weed seemed to die, in fact we seemed to have more! A complete waste of time and money. Can I have a refund please?

Killed My Saphire Buffalo Lawn - Do not buy
Purchased this Yates Weed n Feed Liquid product from Bunnings in order to kill off the clover growing in my 2 year old sapphire buffalo lawn. Other than a few clover weeds turning slightly yellow (many did not), it has killed my lawn which is now 80% dead brown. I applied it as per the bottle instructions. I am hoping it will recover and repair itself otherwise it will all have to be replaced. Not buying this product again.

Waste of precious time
Total waste of time. I have all the weed chemicals but to save time maintaining the sprayer etc I bought 2 bottles of weed and feed. Followed instructions to the T. Ended up watering the weeds for over half an hour, imagining the bottle was getting lighter and lighter. And that’s all it was, my imagination. Not happy Yates

Horrible product
This product is a waste of money, time and especially water. It took 45 minutes for one 2litre bottle to empty. And the other bottle has barely reduced it's liquid after 40 minutes of spraying. The so called help centre only offers to send a new cap but clearly it's a design fault as the cap and internal straw is in tact. I personally don't see how it can scientifically work anyway as the water comes out horizontally but the fluid comes up diagonally with no pump I can't see how it works

Questions & Answers
Colin D.asked
Is the date on the bottle a use by date?
2 answers
I think there may be, although I have used bottles that have been sitting in a hot shed for years and it still worked effectively. Like any chemical keep out of UV and it’s probably going to be fine to store for a long time.
Not 100% on this but think it might be the date of dispatch & batch number.Uusually a use by date will have ( use by ) printed .
Lisa W.asked
We are undergoing rain every other day. Weeds are prolific. We have a kikuyu lawn.we need to rid weeds now. How long since last rain and how long until rain is suitable to treat? Efficacy reduction would be expected yes? But at what lowering please. I want to treat today.
22 degrees c overcast showers for next 6 days intermittent
2 answers
I think you need to be patient and wait for some drier weather. You don’t want to spray the weeds to have the chemical wash off - a. Because it’s a waste of money, and b. Because you risk the chemical washing into creeks and rivers. Unfortunately this is the nature of the beast.
No different to farmers who use aircraft to spray crops. You have to work with the weather, and there’s nothing else you can do. Don’t panic be patient and follow the instructions and common sense!
Well the instructions read that you need a 24 hour dry period from rain & not to water for 12 hours (a bit confusing ) so I would pick the 24 hour one just to be sure, & that should get better results
Lesleyasked
Can you reuse the weed and feed spray bottle with weed and feed concentrate once the sprayer is empty? If so what ratio to water do i use?
1 answer
The bottle would be reusable, although the lid is difficult to remove.
However you'd need to calculate perform a bit of a calculation to get the dose correct for whichever chemical you wanted to use, as you'd be putting in a partial concentrate which will be diluted as applied.
The bottle is recyclable.
