Is Brunnings Feed N Weed Hose On the Easiest Way to a Weed-Free Lawn?
The Backyard Secret to Winning the War on Weeds (And Giving Your Lawn a Feed-Up)
Let’s talk weeds. Those scrappy, clingy little invaders that somehow pop up overnight like uninvited guests and make themselves right at home on our precious lawns. If you’ve ever crouched down with a butter knife (don't worry, we've all done it) trying to pry out a stubborn dandelion, you know the struggle is real.
As a beginner gardener or a new homeowner with lawns to care for, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. One moment, you're spreading grass seed with hopeful dreams of lush green spaces and the next—bam! Weeds are staging a full-blown uprising. So, what’s the best way to keep on top of them, without feeling like you’ve signed up for a full-time lawn maintenance job?
The Backyard Buddy Every New Gardener Needs
Let me introduce you to a tool that secretly every experienced gardener whispers about but no one tells beginners upfront: the 
Brunnings Feed N Weed Hose On.
This product is the yard equivalent of hiring a bouncer for your lawn—a bouncer with fertiliser in one pocket and a weed-wacker in the other. At its heart, it's a simple idea. While feeding your grass, it’s also ruthlessly taking out the enemies: clover, bindii, dandelion, lambs tongue, capeweed, dock, and thistles. Not by zapping them instantly—but gently and persistently through their leaves, over 3 to 4 weeks. Slow and steady wins the lawn.
I get asked all the time—“What do I use when the weeds take over, but I’m scared of damaging my new lawn?” This is it. Beginners love it because it's fuss-free. Just connect to your hose and spray. You won't need complicated mixing or guesswork.
Why It Actually Works (And Doesn’t Just Make a Mess)
- Easy Hose-On Application: No extra tools. No drama. Clip it onto your garden hose and spray away.
- Two-for-One Perk: It doesn’t just knock weeds back—it feeds your grass so it stays healthy and thick. A strong lawn naturally crowds out future weeds.
- Area Coverage: The 2.7L bottle takes care of 173 square metres—most average front or backyards sorted in a single session.
- Leaf Absorption: It works through the greenery. No stress about spraying into the soil and hurting your grass’s roots.
- Ideal During Growth Season: The more your weeds are showing off and trying to look tall, the better it works. You’ll see results start to emerge over a few weeks—without having to constantly monitor and repeat treatments.
A Backyard Chat: Real Grass, Real People
A mate of mine recently moved into a place that looked like the lawn had given up trying. Think yellowy patches, prickles where you wanted to put your bare feet and not a single stretch of lush green. After one round with Brunnings Feed N Weed Hose On, she sent a pic three weeks later—it wasn’t magazine-perfect, but you better believe those weeds were gone and in their place? New confident blades peeking through, like they’d finally found their voice.
That’s the secret. Beginnings. Building something, even a patch of greenery, can feel intimidating when you don’t know where to start. But when you’ve got the right tools, and clear wins under your belt—suddenly it’s not so scary.
Quick Lawn Love Tips for Weeding Success
- Wait for active growth. Spring and early summer? Perfect. Don’t bother using it during dormancy—your weeds won’t even notice.
- Pick a still day. No wind drift, no wasting product on the gardenias next door.
- Avoid mowing just before or just after application. Let those leaves absorb the good stuff.
- Be patient. It works over time. If your weeds aren’t flopping over by day three, don’t panic.
Your lawn doesn’t judge, but the neighbours might 😅. Truth is, a weed-free lawn isn't about being perfect. It’s about knowing when and where to step in—and Brunnings Feed N Weed Hose On is one of those times when action is easy and worthwhile.
