    Does anybody know where I can get liquid Iron to spray for moss in a lawn.
    Have about 3/4 acre to do so it has to be good stuff because I'm not gonna do it the second time.
    I have spread Sulphate of Iron and I hate doing it as it gets everywhere and my clothes are so smelly after it.
    I have used Zero and it so weak at 6% Imight just have well put it out neat.
    Looking for min 20% iron content, something like the 'Seagreen' brand in the UK which is not available in Ireland.
    Thanks

    i may be misremembering, but isn't spraying iron a short term solution?
    someone once told me that if you want to fix the issue long term, it's probably lime you need.

    Ya your right. Heard a gardner on the radio during the week. Iron changes the ph of the soil and turns it acidic perfect conditions for growing more moss plus the Irish climate.
