Angie answers a common autumn lawn question and explains how to get on top of broadleaf weeds before they become a bigger problem.

• Cool season weeds such as bindii and clover thrive during the cooler months, making early identification and treatment essential for a healthy lawn.
• Before applying any lawn weed killer, it’s important to identify your lawn type, as buffalo lawns can be sensitive to certain products.
• If you're unsure which lawn variety you have, it's safest to assume it is buffalo and choose a suitable treatment option.
• Young broadleaf weeds are easiest to control, so treating them early helps prevent them from spreading throughout the lawn.
• Early intervention is especially important for bindii, stopping prickles from developing later in the season.
• Hose-on products such as Yates Weed'n'Feed and Yates Weed'n'Feed Buffalo Lawn provide a simple way to treat broadleaf weeds across the entire lawn.
• Regular monitoring and prompt treatment will help maintain a healthier, greener lawn through autumn and winter.
