Your lawn is so much more than a patch of green to cover the soil. It’s a play space, the epicentre of entertaining and summer living, a place to picnic, throw a ball or just lie back and look at the sky. So it’s worth a little effort to make it lovely. Mowing and watering your lawn is just the start to luscious growth – but Yates makes it easy to provide the extra care a lawn needs to be great. Here’s how to make the most of your lawn with Yates.
Don’t allow weeds to ruin the look of your lawn or prickles to puncture your fun. Get your lawn barefoot ready with Yates Weed ‘n’ Feed Hose On Lawn Weed Killer and Lawn Fertiliser. Apply when weeds are actively growing, preferably before they flower, and reapply every three weeks if necessary.
The handy hose connection dilutes the solution as it sprays – there’s no mixing or measuring required. Weed ‘n‘ Feed selectively kills the most common broadleaf weeds, such as bindii, clover, dandelion and thistles. Weed ‘n’ Feed also contains fertiliser, giving your lawn a welcome boost of nutrients for lush green growth.
Support your lawn’s growth by giving it all the nutrients it needs. Yates Dynamic Lifter Concentrated Lawn Food is an organic based concentrated lawn fertiliser providing dual benefits of fast-acting nutrients and slow-release organics, which means you feed more lawn using less. It promotes healthy soil, which encourages earthworms and beneficial micro-organisms, in turn creating an environment for your grass to thrive.
Apply four weeks after using Weed ‘n‘ Feed: cast the granules over your lawn and water in. It’s suitable for all lawn types and can be used in spring, early summer and early autumn.
If not kept in check, lawn pests can derail your lawn-care efforts. Keep an eye out for damage from bugs, especially early in the season (around mid-September), when overwintering adult pests emerge, and serve them an eviction notice with Yates Grub Kill & Protect For Lawns. The product not only kills many of the most aggressive lawn pests, it also binds with the soil to continue protecting against the dreaded curl grub for up to six months.
Some products are not available at all Bunnings stores, but may be ordered.
When using products to deal with pests, diseases or weeds, wear suitable protective equipment and always read the label, including application restraints and instructions, and follow safety directions. Store all garden chemicals and products out of the reach of children and pets.
Achieve your best backyard with the extensive range of Yates gardening products.
Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer or visit our Health & Safety page.
When following our advice in our D.I.Y. videos, make sure you use all equipment, including PPE, safely by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Check that the equipment is suitable for the task and that PPE fits properly. If you are unsure, hire an expert to do the job or talk to a Bunnings Team Member.
