Did you already know that granular ironite (iron oxide) is completely unavailable in soils ABOVE a 6.0 pH?!

[@golddigger9326]

I did not know that

[@DrMonkPhD]

This isn't really factual (and misleading).

[@TheLawnMentor]

@@DrMonkPhD please provide sources to door this isn’t factual. I provided my source in the description

[@DrMonkPhD]

@@TheLawnMentor what source? I do not see a source. It is true that Fe availability is dictated by the soil redox potential and pH.. In soils that are aerobic/higher pH, Fe is readily oxidized, and is predominately in the form of insoluble ferric oxides. But many turfgrass species exudes natural chelating compounds (eg, phytosiderophores) that complex Fe and render the Fe available for plant uptake. Plant roots absorb iron from the soil solution most readily as (ferrous) Fe2+, but in some cases, also as (ferric) Fe3+ ions See McBride, M.B. 1994. Environmental chemistry of soils.

AI isn't necessarily more coarse. It depends on the nozzle sizes. Floodjet nozzles are great for fertilizer and normally have a much wider angle, like 110 degrees, which is more forgiving with overlap and height. AI nozzles are better for contact fungicides, like Daconil because the droplet is actually a bubble and explodes on contact creating better coverage. I was fortunate to see the results of flood/flat fan vs AI when Syngenta came on site for quality control research at a local golf course.

But neither ingredient is listed on the Ironite label. Both can build up in the soil. According to the Washington State Department of Health, “accidental ingestion of less than half a teaspoon of Ironite may be toxic to small children.” Arsenic is a known carcinogen and even small amounts of lead can harm a child’s ability to learn.

shrsl.com/42ofv Thank you! Fixed above

[@jacquelinepenha3135]

Thank you, but ironite works for me.

[@Mike1122.]

Just save yourself some money and get 10 pounds of epsom salt and water for 5 minutes for a lush, deep green lawn. You’re welcome.

[@mudwiser1391]

Why 10 pounds?

[@latishamitchell7984]

I saw this on another video, and the guy's lawn was super green

[@versacebouy86]

I’ve just heard about epsom salt. What brand and how much do you apply.

[@darylheasman1]

Just save some money....is Epsom salt free now

[@AA-md7fo]

I used Epsom salt and my grass is now dead

[@BackyardBrews]

For the win!

[@BackyardBrews]

I might need to try this strategy out.

[@TheLawnMentor]

When you do, come back and tell us the results! What kind of lawn do you have?

My man!

[@WesBell55]

Go Bucks!!!

[@TheLawnMentor]

LOL you're gonna hit all the videos up aren't you haha

[@arbyc8736]

I don't use liquids so I will continue using ironite.

[@TheLawnMentor]

To each their own! Why no liquids?

[@arbyc8736]

@@TheLawnMentor Cost of a lawn sprayer and mess dealing with sprayers. You need to dedicate the sprayers too or clean them out real good. Admittedly, I am not a lawn fanatic. I do use a sprayer for applying glyphosate but I would not dare using it for anything else. I actually also use Weed B Gon spray: My 24 ounce pre-mixed container is going on 5 years now.

[@Bikerdogkash]

Those are some pricy products. Iron with or without some epsom salts are much less expensive. Im just learning the deprh if lawn care and Ive spent alot but now learning more and less is less pricey

[@bigboy508]

I didn’t see much of a difference in grass color

[@TheLawnMentor]

Maybe the camera doesn’t do it Justice 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@larryaugust8205]

You said the name so fast , I couldn’t understand what you said

[@TheLawnMentor]

Ferrous Ammonium Sulfate

[@robertfletcher2641]

U could spend a lot of money with these products if u have a big lawn

[@TheLawnMentor]

Try to keep it cheap!

[@Knowbetter69]

Lawns need lots of nitrogen.

[@dewayneoverton466]

Green Effect turned my lawn from dark green to lime green 😢

[@TheLawnMentor]

Say whaaaaat? That don’t sound right

[@GaryDavis-ll4uc]

Did not change much by my eyes

[@CCCC-tq8yo]

Not a huge difference in the green what type of grass is it.... Most of the you tubers only see super dark green dependant on there grass... I used rgs ect but if you really look at most other people's Lawns they look pretty much the same if u use the products or not

[@TheLawnMentor]

I have TTTF out front. The rate I used was conservative and you could for sure go a little higher! Maybe the camera didn’t show it but I for sure saw a difference in a MUCH shorter amount of time than ironite. Cheaper too.

[@franktwarren]

I see absolutely no difference

[@petebusch9069]

Do you have degree in chemistry or are you just reading labels and selling product?

[@TheLawnMentor]

Neither.

[@DugEphresh]

Uh, just use DEF. Just iron is for noobs.

[@hectorvazquez1752]

sorry look same and probably a little worst to me,
