Yates Weed 'n' Feed Liquid Hose-on

It’s hopeless… 25 dollars one week later my clover, the most common annoying weed in Australia is looking fabulous thanks to feed the weeds. My grass has dead spots everywhere but thanks to the green clover it’s not all dead..
I say avoid and get targeted products or just thro some money in the toilet and sit back down.. I’m not gonna give it one star because I don’t think a product should be judged on stars alone so read the reviews and make up your own mind.. thanks..

Works well but after half the chemical has been dispensed, the remainder will not draw through the nozzel fitting . Continuing to sparay just waters the lawn . I have two half full/empty containers and no way of extracting the chemical .

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...

Like many of you, I had trouble with my connection, until I read these reviews. Now I know to lift the top off the nozzle (I used my car key to life it up) and it works great. You just have to make sure you aren't directionally challenged and spray it over yourself first. Hoping the results are good.

Just cracked it open today, plugged it in and sprayed, water pressure in my neighborhood isnt great yet the delivery mechanism worked fine or as good as expected, keen to see how well the mix actially works now! Also wondering if more than 1 application is require post the inital spray

As mentioned in an earlier review, anyone unable to get the weed and feed nozzle working will likely have one or both of the prongs still stuck in the air holes that are meant to be clear to allow the hose spray to distribute the product. Just pull out the offending prong(s) with pliers and away you go.

I sprayed this product over the front area that basically contains a vast number of weeds over 3 weeks ago and I have to agree that it is a VERY slow way to kill weeds. I'm thinking I might have to respray the areas to give it an extra boost. I've noticed only a few weeds slowing dying and that's about it. We'll see. I'm not sure if I'd recommend this product as yet.

After reading these reviews, I'm a bit hesitant to use the product, I pride myself in keeping a nice lawn, so never had used it before, can someone reassure me please... I see a lot of the product in Bunnings getting brought, so it must be ok right? Have been happy with Yates products in the past..

The 'useability' of the product is a complete nuisance.

The hose needs be connected, the (hard to open) clip lifted and then the water turned on.
It means the product is being delivered immediately at the tap, even though your area to spray may be a many metres away from the tap.!! Older nozzle assemblies had a finger hole to cover to allow either a water or product delivery, allowing the user to get where they needed before the application began. Was any 'user testing' ever done on this design?

The label indicates I can decant some product and use in a watering can - but the nozzle assembly is not easy to get off without tools.

The stuff does knock off the weeds well, just a pity about the package.

Updated review. Please make a better nozzle connector. The nozzle fits well on some attachments, but is far from fool proof. It took 3 hoses for me to find one that did not either pop off or back spray me as well as the lawn. I guess that it is hard to put a lot of money in the one use deposible part, the nozzle connector, but if you are unlucky, it can be annoying and time consuming.

I also did quite a large area and not sure how big 200 sq m. is. Level on container hardly moved, when weed and feed exhausts is container empty or is it just water. There does not seem to be any odour. Had no problem with connection just not sure how mix work.
