Has always worked for me & I buy sufficient to cover the approx 100 Square Metres twice And shake bottle before use

published

I think some people are using to much pressure from the hose It only needs to spray a couple of metres Have had the connection problem But that was due to either worn rubber washer or different hose connection Inside diameter



Purchased in at IGA for $15.

No problems for me

published

I have been using this for a couple of years. Kills all the weeds sometimes takes a few days. Recently we had lawn grubs, Weed n Feed was great and greened up the ugly patches. My only issue is I can’t get to the bottom of the product. Have decided to keep the leftovers and then put them in my own sprayer, no wastage.

Purchased in for $15.

Perfect Product for Weeding and Feeding - Tall Fescue Grass

published

This product is amazing for weeding and feeding my tall fescue grass. i find that it gets a good majority of the weeds and i use it on an 8 week cycle. I also compliment a Paspalum Killer for crabgrass in between these cycles 8 week cycles with great success. Highly recommended and i have been using it successfully for the last 3 years.

Purchased in at Bunnings Warehouse for $15.37.

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.

Purchased in at Bunnings Warehouse for $20.

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.

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

This stuff sprays easily

published

After neighbours recommended this product to kill bindiis I gave the liquid hose-on version a go. It’s too early to tell if it works, but neighbours with the same bindi problem swear by it. I see people have posted negative reviews about the spray nozzle not working. Well I can report that the spray nozzle works a treat and consistently creates a strong and even spray that’s dead easy to apply, despite my water pressure being average. I applied 13 x 4L bottles of the stuff which all sprayed consistently and no problems. My garden is huge - not a suburban block. Now to sit back and see if it works!

Great stuff

published

Took care of all broadleaf weeds and clover in my lawn. Definitely use it again, made a difference to the colour of the lawn as well. My neighbours have used it since seeing the results in my lawn so I am very happy with the results. application is easy by attaching it to your garden hose.

Perfect lawns and easy to use.

published

I buy two 4l bottles of Weed n Feed every year to do my yard. it's very easy to use - just pop the black cap up, plug in the hose - turn on the tap and away you go.
You can see results in a few days and after two or three weeks the weeds are being driven out by the floiurishing green lawn.

The one tip I will give people is that you need to use Gardenia or Neta hose fittings. Pope fittings are not compatible.

This stuff works

published

Have used it and no weeds in the last 3 months
bought in november, sprayed in december, only comment would be do not spray on high pressure - medium - so you can spray more of your garden.
complaints wise - everything has grown a little too well. so more work for me in the garden.

1. What is the best hose connector to use with a 4L Yates Weed and Feed so that it doesn't pop off and spray water all over the place.
2. Can Yates colour the liquid so that we can see it coming out. (Seasol is brown and you can actually see it coming out with the water spray).
3. Can Yates please make the flip cap and on/off tap easier to operate. Near impossible for elderly people.
4. Does Yates have a concentrate that I can refill the bottle with. Seems a waste to throw a 4 litre bottle to landfill each time.

Details

Features:

  • The Yates Weed ‘n’ Feed Liquid Hose-on is a weed killer and fertiliser.
  • It has added nitrogen fertiliser to help your lawn stay healthy and keep green.
  • The weed killer selectively kills the most common broadleaf weeds found in lawns, such as bindii, clover, thistles, and dandelions.
  • The formula contains a wetting agent, helping to improve the spray coverage and better penetrate leaves.
  • Plant hormones in the product are absorbed by weeds and transferred to the roots, causing them to curl and yellow before being destroyed within 4 weeks.
  • An on and off switch means you can attach the Hose-on straight to your garden hose and spray it on your yard directly. You can also dilute it in water and use a watering can for a more precise application.

What did reviewers think about the Yates Weed ‘n’ Feed Hose-on?

Reviews for this product were well and truly mixed. Reviewers who left positive feedback reported that it effectively killed broadleaf weeds on their yard, and said that the Hose-on was easy to use.

However, there were many reviewers who found that this product was difficult to use. They said that it was difficult to attach the snap-on hose connector to the bottle. Some also stated that the dispenser was unreliable, and that only water - and no chemicals - were being fed a lot of the time.

A few reviewers also noted that the product didn’t nourish their lawn or kill weeds - a few even said that it killed their grass or left it discoloured and patchy.
