Liquid Iron Application

Hi all, looking to spray all our lawns with a liquid iron treatment fairly soon. For most lawns it'll be primarily to green them up and give them a little protection over the winter rather than to blacken all the moss off. This year i'd like us to try out a liquid one rather than buying the iron granules and having to mix it as I just find that a pain. What do others on here use? The Pro-Kleen Liquid Iron & Lawn Tonic looks to be a fairly cost effective one but have no experience with it. What do people on here use if not using the granules that you have to mix yourself? Any recommendations please?

    I use the pro-kleen liquid. It's works for me.

    • Thanks, that's good to hear. Can I ask about how much you use please? The product suggests 250ml for greening or 500ml for hardening and that's in 5 litres of water. But it states that will only cover 50m2. It would take many passes over 50m2 to use 5 litres. Ideally what i'd like to do is fill my 20 litre knapsack and then just pass once over each lawn I do (or twice at the most), but unsure therefore how much product to add to that. Can you remember what amounts you use please?

        I think I used 500ml in 5litres on one pass and over sprayed on the moss. Works better when lightly raining, you can see it react.

        • ok, thanks

  • We have used the Pro Kleen liquid iron for several years, the more you buy the cheaper it is which is not evident until you get to checkout online.

    It's an excellent product with no dilution problems , we put 2.5 lts in a 12 lt knapsack guess you could use less just to green up but can't advise on that as we are using it for moss control. A 12 lt knapsack will very approximately cover around 400 sq mts but as we are using it for moss we do soak the sward thoroughly, have no hesitations in recommending.

    • Thanks Peter, that's helpful 

      • Don't use on a sunny day dries too quickly, showery  and cloudy days best or after a heavy dew.
