Yates Weed 'n' Feed Liquid Hose-on (page 5 of 5)

Same problem tried spraying product but bottle didn't go down The problem I had was when I lifted the black plastic cap the two plugs snapped off blocking the application once I had pulled these two broken out plugs away it went also found you really have two push hard to get the attachment on but it works once it snaps on

Some users have no trouble, many do. I'm one of the latter.
Connect hose - standard hose fitting. Check.
Raise black plastic tab at front: Check.
Result: still getting drowned.
Repeat with brand new hose connector.
Result: still getting drowned.
If you look at the connector fitting on the container, it has raised solid black pieces around the diameter, and these are too high for any standard connector to grip over. Result: the hose will only partially click on to the container fitting. Some of the water will certainly spray onto the lawn...

Used Yates Weed and Feed to no avail. Had problems with fitting. Even after checking and following instructions the hose fitting kept coming off the bottle and ten days later the weeds are still there. Wouldn't recommend. Have since heard on a radio programme that there is a better product so am investigating this.

Easy to use, just click on the hose open the plastic front and away you go, Great results,

ps, It pays to read the instructions concerning the lid :) instead of getting mad and posting bad reviews lol

The hose came of the fitting several times despite changing my hose fitting. Despite lifting the black flap on the front it only performed as it should do for several moments. Successfully wet lawn with most of the product still in the container which I had to painfully empty out into a normal spray unit.

I have just spent 2 frustrating hours trying to spray "Weed and Feed" on my lawn.
The hose fitting fell off at least six times spraying fertilizer and water all over me.
After persevering for so long I gave up in disgust when the bottle was still only half empty. I came inside and after reading all the above reviews, went in search of "The little black bit" that I was supposed to have pulled off.
My half empty bottle, and another new one I had bought at the same time, do not have any bits to remove. I looked everywhere!!
I am left wondering what to do now!

Yates weed n feed worked wonderfully, I regularly treat my lawns with the product.
I notice all the low rating comments all have the same theme, no liquid empties and water sprays everywhere, THIS IS BECAUSE YOU MUST REMOVE THE LITTLE BLACK BIT,
On the front of the nozzle their is a small ledge, place fingernail in and lift, the cap might only lift a little bit but force it off, plug hose into click and boom your watering like a champion, people would rather get angry online then use their heads

I clicked 1 star just to get a rating and i want my money back plus some for frustration and waste of time. unbelievably useless connection to hose. i tried 4 hose connections and they all made me more wet than the lawn. what poison have i been spraying everywhere (in small part on myself i presume although contents havent shifted much, if at all). absolutely useless product. now have to empty contents into weed sprayer and who knows what the portions of product and water should be!!! Close this mob down immediately!!!

I agree with previous comments as the same happened to me. Solution didn't appear to be reducing in the bottle. I initially thought it was my water pressure. Bought the product again (look for the new black fitting which just clips up.... User friendly)

Leave it on the ground until you have have attached the hose and only then turn the tap on.

Weeds will die but slowly and "hey presto" your lawns will look fabulous in 2 weeks.

I particularly like this product because it doesn't seem as poisonous as other solutions.

The fitting on top of the bottle is so badly designed you may never find out if the product in the bottle is any good. I used a standard hose fitting which I use for my sprinklers and hand watering attachments. It was very hard to fit the bottle to the hose and the attachment is made of such flexible thin plastic that it just pushed off the bottle, spilling product over my feet and on a patch of the lawn. Isn't this poison? Aren't there safety issues with having a product that can spill on peoples skin? I ended up getting the attachment on...

I have just sprayed my lawns with weed n feed and find that the bottle after application has no less liquid in it than before I started. Does this mean the bottle now has very diluted spray in it. Did I do something wrong?
Or are the instructions not clear?
Very easy to apply
Didn't seem to empty the container

I used this product after trying an alternative brand. The first brand just did not attach to the hose properly and as a result, the container was just as full as it was to begin with!

Yates is such a trusted brand. This product lives up to the Yates reputation.
Reasonable price, very effective and easy to use.
