Follow directions as suggested is best advice. On top of that I've
noticed
that when spraying with a broadleaf killer, using a drench option is
much
more effective. I was spraying with not a high success rate. Then I
noticed
one brand (Hortico) suggested application with a "hortico sprinkle bar".
Not
having one, nor knowing what it was I decided a watering can would be
similar. I walked at a semi fast pace using a watering can to water the
lawn
with broadleaf killer mix. Best kill rate ever. At work we now use
coarser
spray nozzles, with lower pressures for same effect with better kill
rates.
Of course you have to take into accont roots of surrounding plants, and
runoff, and possibly the fact you have buffalo, but on couch it works
great.

Good luck

Thanks Andrew - I think I'll need the luck.

I'll give the drenching method a go on one part of the lawn and the
sulfate
of ammonia on another... what could possibly go wrong!

Ciao,
Dave.


Only thing could go wrong is possible overdosing of buffalo from drenching.
But if the instructions are followed with rates, then it should be ok.

I sprayed my lawn with Bin-Die a couple of weeks ago and the clover
(which I don't mind as it is green and soft) is dying whereas the
bindis at best look a little sad! Oh well another spray this week.

The really annoying thing is that for nearly 20 years never had a
bindi in the garden and I suspect it was due to the fact that I let
the grass grow really long. Now I am older and mow more regularly they
seem to have flourished in patches

If you sprinkle clover
liberally with sulphate of ammonia it will die of nitrogen poisoning.

Any ideas what it will do to my buffalo grass?

Nothing -- you might get an extra-green patch. THe advantage of sulphate of
ammonia is that unlike most commercial weed killers, it doesn't hurt buffalo.

Great... thanks for the info.

I'll let you know how I go.
