No Problems Eric. Thanks

Let me tag @Noelle to make her aware of your questions. The Weed n Feed usually takes about three weeks to take effect. However, if you don't get any results, I suggest holding off on respraying the Weed n Feed until we got some recommendations from Noelle. We don't want to oversaturate the area with too many chemicals as it is probably not good for your turf.

Hi again @adamlin

Lawn weeds are notoriously persistent - it often takes two or three applications of lawn weeder over a period of months to gain control.

Feeding a lawn at this time of the year is not really recommended so I would stick with the Lawn Builder Bindii. Allow 4 - 6 weeks between applications to give the product time to be absorbed and to work at a time when soil and air temperatures are low and the action of products like these is similarly slow.

I'd hold off on using any type of fertiliser (granular or liquid) until late August - September when temps are starting to warm again and lawn growth is speeding up.

@EricL Thanks Eric

Our buffalo lawn has a weed problem, but I'm not sure what kinds of weeds they are. Can you help me identify them and choose the right product to kill the weeds? It looks like there may be two different kinds.

Hello @itssimon

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question regarding your lawn.

It appears to be some type of clover variant; I suggest using Yates 4L BuffaloPro Hose On Lawn Weed Killer. It selectively kills the most common broadleaf weeds in lawns, including bindii, clover, dandelions and thistles. It's ready to use as no mixing is required. It's safe for buffalo and other common lawn types. A much safer option if you’re unsure what lawn type you have. One bottle will cover and treat 200m².

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hello everyone,

Could you please help me identify this weed?

Location: Melbourne

Are these crab grass or winter grass?

Regards,

Hi @Neo19,

It could be either, but removal can be achieved similarly. Since this is a gravelled area and not a lawn, I'd recommend applying a non-selective weed killer, which will knock it off quickly. Remember to follow all safety precautions on the packaging.

For prevention, I suggest spraying the area with a path weeder periodically. This sticks around in the soil and prevents weeds from appearing for several months.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
