Hi Peeps,
This is my first post here and hopefully won’t be the last.

Can someone advise how can I get rid of these creeping weed ? I would like a product that can be used in winter (preferably) and also does not effect the colour of my sandstone garden beds. 
Type of grass : Sir Walter buffalo.

Your advise is really appreciated.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Moe1. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about removing creeping oxalis.

I recommend you pick up a garden sprayer and some Amgrow 500ml Bin-Die Herbicide. Bin-die is suitable for removing creeping oxalis, but I suspect it will take a few applications to do the job. Mix the product with water and add it to your sprayer. Liberally spray the areas where the creeping oxalis is. Bin-die is also effective in controlling other common weeds such as bindii, clover, and dandelion.

When spraying products near landscaping, it's always best to use a large piece of cardboard to prevent overspray onto the stonework.

Remember your PPE, including a face mask, safe glass, gloves, a long-sleeved shirt, trousers and enclosed footwear.

Here's a helpful guide on How to weed your lawn.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi - this has been discontinued.  What are the other options for buffalo friendly Oxalis control?

Hi @flanboy73,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

Yates BuffaloPro Hose On Lawn Weed Killer will control creeping oxalis as well as a variety of other broadleaf weeds. It is also friendly for use on buffalo lawns.

In the "How to use" section on Yates' product page, it specifically states it can be used to treat creeping oxalis - Yates Buffalo PRO Selective Weed Killer Hose-On.

Let me know what you think and if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks!  I was hoping to find a concentrate I could use in a spray - I have heard this is more successful than hose-on options.

Hi @flanboy73,

There used to be a concentrated version of the Buffalo Pro, but due to changes in the regulation of these chemicals, it is no longer available.

Unfortunately, I am not aware of a concentrate that is suitable for use on Buffalo lawns.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
