Description

Pale or yellowing foliage is usually a nutrient problem, not a watering problem, and iron is the nutrient most often missing. Ironite Mineral Supplement 1-0-0 delivers iron, sulfur and other minerals to correct that deficiency and drive a deep green colour without the surge of top growth a high-nitrogen fertilizer produces. That is the whole point of the 1-0-0 analysis: you get the colour without adding a mowing to your week. It is non-staining and non-burning at the label rate, safe to use right through the summer, and labeled for lawns, flowers, shrubs, vegetables and trees, so one bag covers the whole property. Grass will look greener within a week of application when used as directed.

Key Features

  • Creates a deep green lawn with reduced mowing versus regular lawn fertilizers that promote growth
  • Delivers iron, sulfur and other minerals that correct the deficiencies behind pale or yellow foliage
  • Non-staining and non-burning when used at the label rate of 3 lb per 1,000 sq ft
  • Safe to use all through summer — won't stress the lawn in heat
  • Boosts a regular spring and fall fertilizer routine rather than replacing it
  • Labeled for lawns, flowers, shrubs, vegetables and trees
  • Contains Advanced Soil Technology (AST), which improves the physical characteristics of the soil and helps it retain more water

How to Use

  • Apply to a dry lawn using a broadcast or drop spreader.
  • Follow the rates on the package, using 3 lb per 1,000 sq ft as the standard label rate.

  • Do not exceed ten lawn applications in a single year.
  • Water the treated area after application to move the minerals into the soil.
  • Avoid combining it with high-phosphorus fertilizers, since phosphorus binds iron in the soil and reduces its availability.

If your lawn is fed but still looks washed out, iron is almost always the missing piece. Pick it up in store at Garoppo's Feed & Pet Supply in Vineland, NJ, or order online for fast local delivery.

Those numbers are the NPK ratio: 1% nitrogen, 0% phosphorus and 0% potassium by weight. Ironite focuses on delivering iron and a small amount of nitrogen rather than a balanced macronutrient profile, which is why it greens the lawn without pushing heavy growth.
Iron supports chlorophyll production in the grass blade, which is what produces dark green colour. Nitrogen-heavy fertilizers produce colour by driving shoot elongation instead, so they green the lawn and lengthen it at the same time. Ironite gives you the colour without the extra growth.
The 3 lb pouch treats up to 1,000 square feet and the 15 lb bag treats up to 5,000 square feet, both at the label rate of 3 pounds per 1,000 square feet.
Apply when the grass is actively growing and showing colour loss. For most regions that means spring and summer, and it can be used into fall in warmer climates where the grass stays active. It is safe to use through the heat of summer.
It can be used alongside other fertilizers, but avoid combining it with high-phosphorus products. Phosphorus binds with iron in the soil and reduces how much of the iron your plants can actually take up.
