DAVID’S COMMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS
Soft leaf Buffalo is the only decent broad leaf shade tolerant grass currently available in Central Queensland. It also handles sun. Soft leaf buffalo is becoming the most popular grass Australia wide. It retains good winter colour and does not usually get affected by grubs once it is established. Generally low mowing requirements. Soft leaf buffalo will become more popular as yards get smaller and houses bigger. Broadleaf weeds can be controlled by any broadleaf weed spray that does not contain Dicamba.
