FERROUS SULPHATE

IRON (II) SULFATE 

Spreadable powder

This is a coated, fine granular form of Ferrous Sulphate which is suitable for use with a garden spreader.  While it will dissolve in warm water, we recommend our other Soluble Sulphate of Iron for making up Iron Sulphate solutions.  Our other product is also available in smaller pack-sizes of 5Kg and 1Kg.  Both products contain the same levels of ferrous sulphate and elemental iron (19.5% Fe).

Makes your lawn less susceptible to moss and diseases whilst giving your lawn a rapid dark green colour.

In case of sprinkling / applying with a lawn spreader 15 - 25g per m² will be sufficient.

The treatment of the lawn should be executed during the growing period of the grass. Do not walk on just treated lawns before it has rained or has been watered to avoid damaging of the finer grass species. Please prevent this product in dry or diluted condition to get in contact with other materials, such as bricks, tiles, timber, etc., since the product might cause a brown-coloration of these materials. Over application may result in scorching so ensure product is well watered in.

Please be aware that Ferrous Sulfate solution will cause staining if spilt or applied to hard surfaces such as concrete.  These brownish stains are effectively a form of rust and to remove them one will need to use an acid solution like Oxalic acid (used as a 5% solution).

When treating lawns with ferrous sulphate keep pets off the surface for at least one week. This protects their well-being and prevents transfer of residues onto hard surfaces (i.e. brown staining).

For application on agricultural pasture land / paddocks etc use at the same rates as above. Animals like horses must be kept of grasslands for at least 4 weeks before being allowed back to graze.

An over usage of Ferrous Sulphate can be harmful if the land being applied to has a low pH (Acidic) as Ferrous Sulfate is naturally acidic with a pH of 2.5. It is also recommended that the entire lawn be treated rather than specific areas to prevent certain patches becoming more acidic than others.
