hi all,
I re-turfed my lawn from scratch in Dec and now that we are approaching winter, i am noticing new foreign weeds starting to creep in here and there. I have Buffalo Sir Walker lawn but sadly a lot of bats and cockatoos s*!t on it.
What do you guys recommend for weed control and winter fertilizer?
Thanks
You need this:

Your back will love you for it. Yes I know it's $40 but it really assisted the process of removing weed. I could stand here for an hour poking the lawn, twist, turn and push then the weed's gone. Great fun, even the missus had volunteered to do the yard.
I found out that the majority is winter grass. Any solution for that?
Thanks
Bat droppings on grass may burn but it is good as a fertilizer so, if you can, brush it in.
Bird droppings are acidic and can cause more damage so best watered in each day, if possible.
Have you been using a mower with a catcher?
If using a mulching mover, weed seeds drop with the cippings and make problem worse.
Thanks all. I use a catcher when I mow and I don't let the grass grow to seed.
Picked up amgrow winter grass killer and bin-die. I'm going to compare the two. Used winter grass killer at the back and the bin-die at the front. We'll see which is more effective :)
The instructions say that I need 2-3 sprays so ill monitor and report back if anyone is interested.
Cheers
Just be sure to check that it doesn't specifically exclude use on Buffalo lawn. Many weedkillers do.
Well this sucks. Been down the wrong track. They are bloody onion weed!
According to my reading, I have to dig them out manually?
Any pointers? Thanks all
Bottom of the page refers to onion weed:

Buffalo master for the weeds. I have a bottle of this and its still half full after 3 years. Worth it, kills all weeds fast, leaves the grass nice and green.
