Iron is a great additive for your soil. It has two main purposes, the
first being to help yellow lawns turn green and encourage growth and the second
purpose being a cheap way to kill moss.
Lawn Moss
If you are fortunate to live in a part of the country that does not have
moss, then the first part of this
article applies to you. Iron can be used to kill
moss before it gets out of control. Adding
iron and then waiting a few days
will work if you have less than a 1/2 inch of moss. Small amounts of moss
will decompose after they are dead. If the moss only turns yellow you have
not added enough iron and will probably need to reapply the moss control to your
lawn. If it turns brown or black then you have killed it. If it is a
thick layer you may need to have it thatched out of your lawn. If you don't it
will just grow back even thicker.

The symptoms of iron deficiency, also known as iron chlorosis, appear in the
leaves as green veins and yellow leaf tissue. If the deficiency is severe, the
entire leaf may become yellow. Lastly, brown edges may begin to show up. Also in
severe cases, chlorosis can progress to older growth in the plant.
Iron chlorosis is found where soils
are highly alkaline. The high pH of
the soil ties up the iron in the soil, making it unavailable to the plants. Iron
is required for the formation of chlorophyll in plant cells and serves as an
activator for respiration and
photosynthesis.
High soil temperatures and high light intensity can also increase problems with
iron chlorosis.
Nature's
Magic
is a blend of two of the best soil activators and plant health products in the
world.
Nature's Magic
is a unique and extraordinary product,
made
from time-tested
organic ingredients. It neutralizes toxins and conditions in the soil that
hinder biolife, and then it promotes the growth of the good microbes that will
build soil structure and humus.
Using a proprietary process, our Humic Acid is turned into a 40% stronger
solution than the typical Humic Acids sold elsewhere. One gallon of our
Humic Acid is equivalent to 7 tons of manure in terms of soil bioactivation.
We also use a superior grade Seaweed - Ascophylum Nodosum, grown and harvested
off the coast of Norway. We also add some Blackstrap Molasses as an energy
source for biolife. We believe this is the best soil activator on the market.
Mixture: Liquid Lawn Iron 62.500%, Nature's Magic 37.500%
