Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Apr 15, 2014 8:36 am Hi all, I had a new Sir Walter Buffalo laid about 2.5 weeks ago and have noticed that it's being invaded by the dreaded 'soursobs', mostly at the edges near the garden but some throughout the whole lawn. I've bought some Yates Buffalo Pro which is designed to kill this weed and is buffalo turf safe but I'm worried about using it as the lawn is so new. Will using this weed killer damage my lawn while it's establishing itself? If so, what are my other options to control the oxalis so it doesn't take over? Thanks, John Re: Creeping Oxalis in new Buffalo lawn 2Apr 15, 2014 5:46 pm Ultimately, using any weed killers on a new lawn is a bit of a no-no until the grass is established. Normally, an established lawn is defined as being mowed 4 times. Perhaps some more learned forum members might be able to provide some advice on dealing with sour sobs, as traditionally they prefer poorly drained, nutrient deficient soils. Possibly improving the soil over time will help to alleviate the sour sobs. I will watch this thread with interest the leaves that are now underground go yellow, the tips that poke through photosynthesise and have chlorophyll, same reason they grow rhubarb in the dark. 5 4835 A person needs to be licensed to offer financial advice.
