Default feed & weed

not sure if this has been asked before, apologies if so

is there a weed & feed type product which can be used on kikuyu lawns? I
bought a product yesterday from a large well-known hardware/gardens store as
I was told that it was OK for these types of lawns, but on closer reading of
the product info, discovered that it wasn't recommended for such (Rich-gro
weed & feed)

any help will be greatly appreciated
Maria

Not so much a weed and feed type but you must have heard of Glyphosate sold as Roundup. Glyphosate is readily available every where nowand it certainly controls Kykuyu

"Brunnings" do a granular Weed and Feed which says it's ok for couch
and buffalo... doesnt say anything about kikuyu tho.
I've got a 5 kg bag of it here, but havent used it yet. It states
that the lawn will go BLACK(!) for a few day but will recover.
(Thats why I havent used it yet.. )
