Yates Bindii and Clover Lawn Weedkiller is a 500ml selective concentrate for broadleaf weeds growing in lawn. It carries two selective weedkillers in the one bottle, and diluted at label strength it treats more than 330 square metres. It suits most lawn types, but not buffalo.
What it does
-
Two actives, broader reach. Combining two selective weedkillers is what lets a single bottle deal with a mixed weed population instead of one species at a time.
-
Selective on lawn grass. Applied as directed it takes out the weeds and leaves the grass standing, so there is no bare ground to patch and reseed afterwards.
-
Weeds it is registered for. Yates name bindii, clover, thistle and dandelion among them. Anything outside that list is a question for the label.
-
Built in measure, child resistant cap. The cap doses the concentrate accurately and is child resistant for storage in a home shed.
How to use it
Follow the label directions. They carry the mixing rate, the lawn types the product is registered for and the safety instructions, and nothing on this page replaces them.
Dilute with the built in measure in the cap, then apply evenly over the lawn while the weeds are actively growing. Weeds that are drought stressed or sitting dormant take up far less, and the result shows it. Do not spray if rain is expected within 12 hours.
What it suits
Seasonal weed flushes. Bindii and clover arrive in waves rather than steadily, so mixing only what the affected area needs beats committing a whole ready to use pack.
Cost per square metre. More than 330 square metres from a 500ml bottle puts it well under the ready to use equivalent, which is the argument for a concentrate on any decent sized yard.
Gardeners with a sprayer. This is a concentrate, so a knapsack or pump sprayer and a way to measure water are assumed. Delivered Australia wide,.
It is not suitable for buffalo lawns, and it is not a garden bed or pathway weedkiller. The formula is built to spare grass, not to clear ground.
