  • £25 max from my local farm supplier in brown bag........

    25kg! is that the nasty , browny powder that gets in your mouth (dust) and stains everything oxide if you spill it ?? ;)

    is it straight -forward to mix it with water in knapsack as you say (ive never done it) , i only mix with sharp sand and spread ....................
  • Mix it in a 25LT container.
    Put water in the container, pour in the Ferromal powder through a funnel put lid on give it a good shake up then pour into my knap sack as required.
    Powder is a very light blue almost white colour.
    All products with a iron content will stain hard surfaces if alowed to come into contact, this is were taking your time and good prep along with good working practices come in.

    Ferromel 20

    Ferromel is a water soluble formulation of iron sulphate hepta-hydrate used for hardening and greening turf. When applied to turf, this product will help discourage worms and moss formation whilst encouraging the proliferation of finer leaved grasses in the sward.

    Ferromel can be used at any time of year providing frost is not expected.

    Ferromel should not be applied to hard surfaces as it may cause rust staining.


    * Rapidly gives turf a dark green colour
    * Discourages worm infestation and moss formation
    * Encourages finer leaved grasses to develop
    *
    Excellent value for money
    *
    Hardens turf against disease in autumn and winter months


    Pack size: 25kg
    • What spray nozzle do you find works best and at what pressure as we had hit and miss results last year.
