WEED IDENTIFICATION - COMMON BROADLEAF TURF WEEDS (WINTER/SPRING)

[@nickjackson4998]

Finally a good video on Australian weeds. Thanks, definitely subscribing. I also love that there's no extra waffling on like so many KZbin videos. You were thorough and to the point.

[@theaussielawn]

Cheers Nick I appreciate the support and will be back on air soon

Please, please, please keep content like this up. It's so hard to find videos on Australian weed identification and how to deal with it. Pictures just aren't enough sometimes. THANK YOU!

Have just seen this video, and would like to say a big thank you! As one of you earlier commenters explained, it is extremely difficult to find good descriptive video on Australian weeds and how and when to treat them. The thumbnail images from the herbicide companies are virtually useless. I appreciate the effort you put into all your videos, that are a real help. Thanks!

[@theaussielawn]

No worries at all, I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed making it

[@N87E]

I don't usually watch videos with full attention but you present and speak so well i get right into your videos. Watched your buffalo reno vid before this one and you're doing a great job. Natural. Keep it up.

[@theaussielawn]

Mate thank you thats such a nice thing to say Im really humbled that people engage with my vids at that sort of level. I hope your week is going well. Regards Brenton

[@ithertzz]

Perfect video at the perfect time. Thanks for posting this. I've already identified the majority of weeds in my lawn just from this video. So glad that a single broadleaf agent will take care of most of it!

Thanks Brenton for the weed guide I have been battling the weeds through winter (my place has been a rental for 10 years) I brought some PGR and Acacelepryn gr earlier in the week as well.

[@volvogt21]

@@theaussielawn cheers mate. I learnt that one at my bike mechanic's workshop. I got so sick of looking at his weeds in the nature strip. Just a little squirt and they turn purple within an hour or two. Hey you've given me an idea! I'll try iron filings from his lathe next time.

[@theaussielawn]

@@volvogt21 I’m now curious as to what idea I have given you 😂

[@volvogt21]

@@theaussielawn The idea to use iron filings to kill the weeds instead of brake cleaner. From the internet..... ron oxidation causes plant necrosis which in turn kills the weed (First the weed will dry up, then turn black and affected leaf tissue dies within hours of application.) and no damage occurs to the desired turf other than perhaps a darker green color.

[@nathanwotwot]

Great video mate. Really like the info on the different weeds. I actually have some Duke getting delivered for my 1000m2 of onion grass. Horrible stuff.

Excellent idea of weeds in warm season grass Brenton. Especially for us Queenslanders, is there anything but crow bar, that will kill crow's foot grass ? Probably the hardest thing to kill up here. I have just had some randomly start appearing in my lawn, in the last 2 to 3 weeks.

If you can just dig it as you see it. if you have a green couch lawn you can use a DSMA product. But yes it is a tough one to control

[@tomhudson1409]

Awesome video, I can identify some of those at my place. There is one product I’m aware of that will kill onion grass and onion weed. It is called Destiny by bayer, and it appears to be a very good all rounder herbicide. I haven’t tried it at my place as I can’t justify the price tag. From memory the cheapest I have seen it is $650 per 250g!

[@tomhudson1409]

I’ve just looked up the pro force duke herbicide, and it appears to have the same active constituent as Destiny, however you can buy it in smaller quantities. $210 for 100g, awesome value and all I need for my residential block. Going to give it a go, sure glad I watched your video, cheers.

[@theaussielawn]

G'day Tom thanks fo tuning in, Yeah the destiny is soo expensive for the home lawn enthusiast I dont think Id fork out that much money for it either. Hope the duke delivers the right results for you and the onion grass, Its a pain in the bum

[@wilkothewiz]

Great video, Very informative. Are you able to demo different weed killers? I'm using Bow and Arrow and waiting for things to die off just surprised how long it takes to die off. Maybe some basics with applying weed killers and the spray rate of application, My mix is possibly to weak coming out of my Solo backpack sprayer. But I'll be patient, I'll give it another 6 weeks before applying more....

[@theaussielawn]

I’ll see what I can come up with mate, no promises though. Different products work in different ways some give same day visual results others can take longer to show they are working

[@wilkothewiz]

@@theaussielawn Thank you, Generally after an application of weed killer is applied, Is there generally a week or so wait before you apply a liquid fert to feed the lawn?

[@theaussielawn]

@@wilkothewiz hmm it can depend case by case, But once the chemical starts effecting the target weed no amount of fertiliser is going to bring it back if you follow me. Generally speaking I cant see why you couldn't really start feeding a day or two after spraying

[@velcroman11]

Weeds serve a valuable service. Weeds hold soil from eroding. Weeds grow fast unlike you nice lawn grass. Many weeds only grow in nutrient por soil. When they die they return nutrients to the soil weeds are your DIY soil tester. They can tell you what your soil is lacking in. So, before you spray the weeds consider what weed it is. Its death may well help you to know what fertiliser your lawn needs. The healthier your lawn is the less ‘weeds’ will be in your lawn.

[@theaussielawn]

Hey mate hope the weekend is treating you well .. They also return seeds to the soil which is less than desirable for a home lawn or one that’s in construction enhancement mode
