Nov 30, 2008 9:35 pm

Thanks for thta Fu Man, I bought the yates weed'n'feed in the bottle that you click you hose onto and spray around, I did it this evening so I'll see how it all goes.

What type of grass do I have?Landscape & Garden Design

Nov 28, 2008 1:34 pm

I bought some Weed'n'Feed the other day and after reading the label it said not to be used on Buffalo grass. I have no idea what type of grass I have and was hoping someone might be able to tell me. Hopefully these photo's tell the story. Cheers

Any Green Tumbs here can tell me what is wrong with theseLandscape & Garden Design

Sep 09, 2008 9:24 am

We have also sold the place so I'm not really concerned what will happen in 10 years but I do want the...

No idea what wrong with the grass Michelle. I'm too worried about it as the rest of the lawn is doing extremely well considering it was laid in the middle of May. It Sir Walter Buffalo so I'm confident it will recover quickly once the warmer weather comes. The grass looks like its 'burnt' from too m...

Just wanting to know if anyone can tell me whats wrong with my Leighton Greens? I planted them about 3-4 months ago. In behind the retaining wall is about 300mm of blue metal with an ag drain in the middle and the about 500mm of premium organic garden mix. They have had plenty of water and I put som...

I'd leave it behind, as we'll be renting again while we find a block to build on again.

…..and something decorative on the Murray Red wall, I was thinking that it might need something like that but couldnt thin what. We're just about to sell the place once I finish off a few little things hopefully a week or two and we'll be on the market. I just need to make it presentable, something...

Gday all, I've only got a couple of things to finish off in my back yard, one being a screen of sorts that I'm going to put my BBQ in front of. I've built a 2400mm wide x 2000mm high frame but still cant decide on what to put on it. The ideas I have are - Merbau screen to match the deck - Brushwood ...

May 28, 2008 5:01 pm

Yes, We both regret the day we choose dark brown carpet. Looks all nice in the glossy brochures but shows up every single piece of flint/dust/rubbish/cotton string/whatever.....never again.

Do we HAVE to keep the landline for any future buyers if we sell our apartment one day down the track? No you dont have to keep it at all. Is it illegal somehow if we covered up the outlet and then potential buyers years later will move in with no phone capabilities (or many expenses to reinstate o...

I know the father owns 5 or 10 acres in the middle of Kellyville right next door to where Home World 3 is about to be built. The land alone would be worth several million dollars.
