Default Restoring a Neglected Buffao Lawn!......

Hi....Bazza from Sydney, Oz.......

I have predominately Buffalo Lawns both front and back...... They were once
ALL buffalo, but having been neglected for a few years they now have much
other things growing as well....Paspalum, Clover, etc..... Many weed killers
will also kill the buffalo when used....

I vaguely remember some years ago I used to use a mixture of sand with
Sulphate of ammonia to kill the weeds.... It used to also brown off the
Buffalo as well for a couple of weeks, and then grow quite fast as a deep
green colour, and very lush!....I don't remember much about the times of
application or even how much to use.... There may even be better ways to
restore the lawns by removal of all except the Buffalo.....Can anyone offer
suggestions?

Regards...
