Should I use weed and feed on my lawn?

What is Weed n Feed? Weed n Feed normally consists of mainly a broadleaf herbicide with some sort of fertiliser component added. So, its primary objecting is to treat weeds. Unfortunately, the results aren’t always what you are hoping for. Herbicide The main active herbicide ingredient in most Weed n Feed products is Dicamba. The rate of Dicamba present in Weed n Feed bottles is very low and isn’t very effective on most broadleaf weeds, hence the very cheap price. You will usually need 2 or 3 applications to get much of a result in most cases. Dicamba cannot be used on Soft-Leaf buffalo lawns, as it will cause the lawn to die back and turn yellow. Fertiliser Component Weed n Feed adds very little nutrient value to the grass. The fertiliser component mainly contains Nitrogen and Iron, which may give the plant a short boost of green colour, but usually contains zero Phosphorus and Potassium, so it does virtually nothing for the root strength and development of the plant. So, in conclusion, weed n feed is not the best solution when undertaking fertilising and weed control on your lawn. Lawn Solutions Australia recommends using a broadleaf herbicide and a lawn fertiliser separately at a later time, in order to ensure that you are using a good quality herbicide and are not feeding the weeds while doing so. Once the weeds have been treated and are showing signs of die-back, feed the lawn with a slow-release granular fertiliser like Lawn Solutions Fertiliser, which will get the best results for the overall health of your lawn for longer periods of time.
