Yeah, I'm after something that kills clover in my buffalo, but am hesitant to try anything, as I've some horror stories even with dedicated buffalo weeders.

After adding a jackfruit grove last weekend, we now have 110 different varieties of fruit planted.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

I've always used the Yates buffalo pro with no issues, 2 or 3 hits once a fortnight from now and then Shirley's 17 end of sept and seasol hose on before big hot days early December.

I’ve been debating whacking African Daisies in our front yard. We had alternate Gardenias and some purple thing that went crazy… Ruby something from Bunnings.

Pulled the purple things out, and thinking of putting the African Daisies with the Gardenias

This is the stuff I use, my front grass is a mess just bindii and clover and maybe a dozen buffalo runners.
Sunday I used the weedkill and Monday we got 4mm rain not ideal, bindii dead already and clover yellowing off. Bunnings today to grab a roll or 2 of sir Walter (not my preference but lockdown restricted).

This is my latest addition, for sub $500- its a lot of mower. Side chute, deck wash, mulch plug, quiet and tons of power for a standard lawn. Only drawback is it's pullstart is heavy, I'm the only one in the house that can start it.

I only mulch mow, the reviews for bad chute design appear to be fixed with this newer version

Nice one Boner. Casa Del Fui is a Ryobi One + Household. I upgraded my mower from the 18v battery to the 36v. Best investment I’ve had.

Doesn’t get bogged in the grass anymore, and gets the job done in half the time. Plus I have fully charged batteries for the Whipper Snipper and Edger. First mow of the season and the house is Mickey Mouse
