Iron (Fe) is a vital micro-nutrient required by plants in order to form chlorophyll, and chlorophyll is what gives plants their green color. Iron deficiency occurs when there is either not enough iron in the soil, or the iron is tied up and unavailable due to high pH (alkaline soil), or poor aeration. It can also be induced by an over-abundance of calcium in the soil or an over-application of lime.*
Iron chlorosis is the name of the condition found in plants (including grass!) that are iron deficient. It is one of the most common micro-nutrient problems of ornamentals, shrubs, vines, small fruits, and trees. Leaves of affected plants are yellow, light green, or white with distinct green veins.
Our LIQUID IRON is safely sugar-chelated (no EDTA) meaning it will absorb and green plants up quickly and will last longer than other non-chelated irons. We have also added in small amounts of nitrogen and manganese for better uptake and effectiveness. It’s also very economical: 1 Quart of Liquid Iron covers 4,000-10,000 square feet!
By using LIQUID IRON in your lawn care program, you can improve color without forcing the growth that you get with high nitrogen fertilizers. This is the perfect mid-to-late summer application for a lawn that is looking a little more ragged than you’d like!
MOSS CONTROL: Iron products have long been used to kill moss in lawns. Customers report that spraying Liquid Iron at a heavy concentration of 6 oz per gallon of water, using a fine mist pump sprayer, will take care of a moss problem. At this rate, both the moss and the lawn may turn brown or black, but the grass should recover if not already under heat or drought stress. If the moss just turns yellow after an application, it will not die. In that case you need to reapply.
Liquid Iron is the perfect mid-to-late summer application for a lawn that is looking a little more ragged than you’d like. You can also apply Liquid Iron any time you see signs of iron deficiency (iron chlorosis). On plants, this will look like yellow leaves with green veins.
We recommend applying in the early morning or evening for best results.
Anywhere from 3 oz up to 10 oz per 1000 square feet is acceptable, which means a gallon can treat 12,800 sf, all the way up to 42,600 square feet!
For Gardens/Plants:
1 – 2 ounces of Liquid Iron per gallon of water ( 1 tablespoon per qt ) will cover quite a few houseplants with foliar feeding, or you can use it to water. Either way, a gallon will suit most homeowners for a very long time.

You Don’t Like Chemicals, We Don’t Like Chemicals, So Why Put Them In Your Soil?
Yes. You can leave this on the lawn and get some foliar leaf absorption until you have time to water it in or you get a heavy rain, but do not bag your clippings if it hasn’t been watered in. This is a soil improvement product, so it won’t do much for the soil until it gets watered down into the root zone; generally that means a good soaking or heavy rain. If you’re using this product as a foliar spray for plants, you do not need to water it in.
Yes. All products can be applied the same day, except for Yard Guard which is best applied alone and allowed to sit a day or two. Yard Guard can be applied on the same day as your Liquid Iron, but only after the Iron has been watered in.
For Liquid Iron, never mix the concentrated product in the same hose end sprayer as other products.
No. For this product, it’s best to apply only on established grass. If you are planning on seeding, be sure to apply this product at least a few days before you put the seed down, or else wait until the new seed has been fully established and mowed twice before applying.
Yes! Make sure not to use weed and feed or have your lawn treated by services if the lawn is under heat/drought stress, but at all other times this product is compatible with other lawn care programs.
This is a stabilized product that should be good for at least five or more years when stored properly (between 50°F and 80°F with the cap on tight). There might be some settling out or sediment after a long time in storage, but agitating the bottle slightly is all it takes to mix it up again.
For now we are limited to quart and gallon sizes, but if you are interested in making a bulk purchase (20 gallons or more) please contact us for information on bulk, commercial, and wholesale pricing.
