Controlling lawn weeds

As the weather warms up in spring and we start enjoying more time in our backyards, it’s time to eliminate the last of the cool season broadleaf weeds like Onehunga weed and clover. It’s very important for these weeds to be controlled before they have a chance to flower, set seed (which in the case of Onehunga weed, the seed is their nasty prickles) and spread. You can easily control the most common broadleaf weeds in lawns, before they take over, in only a few minutes by using hose-on Yates ® Weed’n’Feed ® . It will also give the lawn a quick burst of the nutrients nitrogen and iron to promote healthy rich green growth. Yates Weed’n’Feed is also available in fast acting granules, which are applied over the lawn by hand. These granules are ideal for treating small patches of weeds or places where hose access is difficult. Apply the granules onto moist grass when the weather is fine and still. Leave on for 2 days then water thoroughly. The lawn will turn black for a few days but will recover. Yates Weed’n’Feed granules are rich in nitrogen and iron to promote rapid greening of the lawn. Prefer using a pressure sprayer or watering can? Dilute Yates Prickle Weedkiller or Yates Weed’n’Feed Concentrate in a sprayer or watering can and apply over weed affected lawn areas. They work via contact action and are effective against broadleaf weeds such as Onehunga prickle weeds, thistles and clover.

Feed

your lawn!

It takes a lot of energy for lawns to grow the thick, deep green growth that is beautiful to walk and play on and help create a fantastic looking front and back yard. We also mow lawns constantly throughout the warmer seasons, which removes lots of nutrients from the soil. As the lawn emerges from its winter hibernation, it’s time to feed it with a professional grade lawn food to promote healthy, rich green growth. Yates ® Lawn Fertiliser is a premium granular lawn food designed to give you a strong, green and healthy lawn. The fine granule formula quickly filters down to the roots and dissolves when watered in. Yates Lawn Fertiliser can be used on all lawn types and contains a unique balance of slow and fast release nitrogen. It provides rapid visible results as well as feeding your lawn continuously over a 12 week period. Apply once at the beginning of spring and you’re done for the season!

Tip!

Yates Lawn Fertiliser also contains the mineral zeolite, which improves the soil’s ability to hold water and nutrients.
