    I might get some.
    Is it sold in a spray bottle?
    Kamba is great. It's the main product I use. I buy it in a 1 litre pack (same sort of squeeze pack as 2 stroke mix comes in). Usually pay about $25 - $28.



    Some nice work in the pics above too everyone.

    Can you use Kamba and Scotts lawn builder at the same time?
    Allot of my clients lawns have been done with Scotts. Their grass is growing along with some healthy weeds and broadleaf etc.

    There are some people in my street that own a realestate company. I did a job for them on one of their own investment properties and since then they just keep sending work my way.

    It has been great, just when I think I am going to have to chase some work they seem to spear something for me to do.

    They are good payers and do not get any other quotes so I have some creative license with my prices. Just the way we like it!

    ^^ Active growth is the best time to spray the weeds. Re the Scotts the Kamba literature recommends not spraying within two weeks of applying fertiliser or within 2 days before or after mowing or within four hours of rain.

    I've noticed that it does take a few days at least before you start to notice it taking effect.

    I've just asked a question in another topic too re the use of Kamba on Buffalo. Most of the guys here say no but the pack says okay for a once in 12 months spray for Buffalo. (I use it mainly on couch and kikuyu here).

    Nice work B2B! They were pretty feral.

    Sounds like you're on a winner with the real estate and don't have to compete against some of the muppets that work for nothing.

    Scotts have a lawn builder that has a broadleaf built into it. Got some the other day to do my own lawns

    You can't use it on Sir Walter or Santa Ana couch which is a bummer. I bought a bag before reading it and I have those two lawns at my place. I ended up giving it to someone.

    Yeah read that but my lawn is kikuyu so it was perfect for that. Has a really weird smell to it though.
