It fixes what's actually wrong. If water isn't penetrating properly and roots are shallow, nothing you apply on top will deliver consistent results.

Water and nutrients can't reach the root zone no matter what you apply on top. Soak fixes that first. Everything in the Starter Pack is also scientifically formulated for turf, not agriculture.

The problem is usually not the heat.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is that the water you are putting down is not getting through. Hydrophobic soil, where the surface becomes water-repellent, develops in sandy soils, high-sun areas, and anywhere that experiences dry periods. Once it sets in, water runs off instead of soaking in. Your lawn is dehydrating from the inside out, even when you are watering consistently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoak breaks that barrier.

Nothing changes. They water more again. Still nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe problem is hydrophobic soil, not the amount of water.

The three actives work together to deliver broader weed control, faster results, and reduced risk of resistance compared to single-active products.

Bow and Arrow is registered for buffalo. However, some varieties including ST85 may show transient discolouration. Apply a test area and wait 7 days before treating the whole lawn if you are unsure of your variety. Any discolouration is temporary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it damage my lawn?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo, when applied at the correct rate. The actives target broadleaf weeds specifically. Established turf grasses process them differently and are not harmed. Apply at the label rate and avoid overlapping spray runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long until I see results?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSmaller actively growing weeds show visible decline within 1 to 2 weeks. Large established weeds may take the full 6 weeks. Bindii and clover typically respond faster than larger broadleaf species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I mow before applying?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAvoid mowing for 3 to 4 days before application. Mowing removes leaf area, which reduces how much product the weed can absorb. Wait until weeds have regrown some leaf material for best uptake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much product do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAt 50ml per 100m2, one 500ml bottle treats 1,000m2.

Apply it on its own. You can apply your Turf and Surf liquid program on a separate day with at least 24 hours between applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat protective equipment do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBow and Arrow is Schedule 5 — Caution.

When should I apply?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nApril is the target window in south-east Queensland. Bindii germinates in autumn and is most susceptible when small and actively growing. Waiting until the prickles form in spring means the plant is already established and harder to control.
