Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

Q: What is the difference between granular iron sulphate and liquid iron sulphate treatments?

A: Liquid Iron can green up the lawn as quickly as just a few hours but typically lasts only 1-2 weeks. Granular Iron Sulphate can take a few days to show its effects but lasts 4-6 weeks. The most interesting effect is with moss. Granular treatments penetrate moss much deeper and reduce the need for multiple applications. Iron Sward is a granular treatment lasting 4-6 weeks and is highly effective at sustaining grass green-up and moss destruction.

Q: What does the added Magnesium do in this Iron Sulphate Treatment?

A: The addition of Magnesium enhances chlorophyll production to give your lawn a deep, vibrant green color. The homogeneous granules ensure an even color distribution on the lawn, even when applied at a lower rate.

Q: When can I apply this iron sulphate lawn treatment?

A: Iron Sulphate can be applied at any time of the year, providing there is no risk of a frost. Water in well if no rain is expected.

Q: How long does this treatment last?

A: Iron Sward iron sulphate lasts 4-6 weeks per application. Iron doesn't move freely in the grass plant, so regular applications are recommended.

Q: What happens to moss after I have applied an Iron Sulphate treatment?

A: Iron sulphate kills moss, turning it black and crispy. Once the moss is dead (after around 2 weeks), you can remove it with a rake or scarifier. It is worth considering seeding the areas from which you have removed moss to prevent the moss from returning. If the area is prone to moss returning, consider addressing the root cause. Improve drainage, improve sunlight access and use a lawn seed that is more resilient to shaded conditions.

Kills Moss

Even at normal application rates, with 12% Iron, Iron Sward Iron Sulphate will blacken moss, allowing you to rake or scarify it up. It works quickly too, moss will start to turn black within 4 days and will be ready for scarifying within 2 weeks.

Provides a hardy sward

Supports synthesis of chlorophyll

Iron is a nutrient that doesn't move around the grass plant very well, so regular applications are essential to prevent chlorosis (the yellowing of the grass leaf) and keep your lawn looking vibrant green.
