Product Information

What’s more, stronger grass is more resistant to autumn lawn diseases like red thread, snow mould and brown patches. It can be a good idea to spray some iron sulphate on your lawn before autumn comes your way. As mentioned previously, rainfall helps the dissolved granules work their way down to the grass roots more effectively. This means that, if you can apply just before rain is forecast, it’ll deliver the best results. As you might expect, your chances of applying at the perfect time – between two rainstorms, when it’s cool and there’s plenty of moisture already in the soil – are much higher in autumn through to spring. In summer, this might be a little more awkward if you don’t have the means of regularly watering your lawn. When Not to Apply Iron Sulphate WHY OUR IRON SULPHATE?

You can apply iron throughout the year (avoiding June, July, and August). Avoid walking on your lawn for seven days! Top-dress your lawn with a mix of sand and compost. This will help the grass to grow stronger roots. You can also overseed thinning lawn patches 4 to 6 weeks after moss killer use. How to get rid of moss Iron can stain hard surfaces.

Use 1g to 2g per litre of water per square metre for greener grass (100 to 200g for 100 square metres) Ferrous sulphate soluble fertiliser has almost as many uses as it has names. Iron is most often used as a green-up tonic for grass. Lawns love iron and an application of ferrous sulphate has a superb green-up effect on grass, giving it a lovely, lush, dark green colour. It also encourages strong and healthy growth in grass, helping to create beautiful and healthy lawns. Iron sulphate should not be applied in hot, dry conditions. Lower doses applied in these conditions can scorch or burn the grass. If applying in these conditions then always water the treated area with plenty of water. Iron sulphate is best applied in wet conditions which helps to water it into the soil.

Iron sulphate can be applied at most times of the year, spring being the most common time, as this is when moss treatment is often carried out. However, frequent applications (every 6 – 8 weeks) from late autumn, through the winter into early spring will certainly help prevent moss from forming during this time. Give your lawn time to absorb the product – at least seven days is recommended. Is Iron Sulphate Toxic or Harmful to Animals?

When iron sulphate isn’t marketed as a moss killer, but as a lawn tonic, hardener or greener, it doesn’t fall under the jurisdiction of the UK’s Health and Safety Executive and these products are usually much cheaper but as they aren’t marketed for moss control, they won’t come with instructions or a safety sheet.
