    I have been using 6 Iron 15-0-0 with 6% Fe but would like a straight chelated iron product without the N. Anyone using something that they have had good results with?

    Michael you should be able to get hold of a lawn sand , its fine sand as a carrier for the chelated iron , can spin on with fert spreader .Irrigate after and not on hot afternoon burns too much .

    Or just spray it , most agri horti supply places have boxed 6% edtha Chealted iron for hydroponics etc cheap as chips .
    All the best Nic

    I used 6 Iron a lot. It is pretty much the same as Ferromec. If you actually work out the amount of N being applied it is almost negligible. The N is binds with the iron and moves into the plant more easily. on a warm day you can almost get away without marker dye of foam, it has that quick of a response

    Harrell's Root Enhancer will make them green. 3 oz. is what I use.

    Hey Mike how's it going. Try UAP they have a real cheap powder I used to add to every tank. Mixes very easy. They also have liquid iron.
