Does what the instructions state

published

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.

After reading a lot of reviews, I feel that a lot of deadbeats have not read the instructions properly. Have been using this product for years & it works perfectly for me

Killed my Kikuyu

published

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

published

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.

Don't waste your money or time on this useless product.
It feeds the weeds and that's it.
I have more weeds now than prior to using this.

Beyond useless

published

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.

published

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.

2 Green Thumbs Up!

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

published

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

published

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

got a few litre bottle from Bunnings, clipped straight onto my hose like it was born to do it, sprayed a dream, only been 2 days so can't speak on it working but seems none of use really want to talk about that and are worrying about wet hands anyways.
providing the weeds dissapear will definitely buy again

The nozzle leak, product was not coming out. Waste of money

published

I tried this product more than once and I always have issues while spraying. The last three applications did nothing to the weeds. Avoid this product as it’s waste of money,

Horrible product

published

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

Is the date on the bottle a use by date?

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 .

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!

Andy
Andy

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

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
Colin
Colin

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.
