Iron Sulphate for Hardening & Disease Resistance

A very common question is about the use of iron sulphate with kids and pets on the grass. It is highly recommended that both children and pets are kept off treated areas for 3-4 days after application of iron sulphate. Iron sulphate can be toxic if ingested in large amounts. It therefore can be dangerous to pets who would eat grass. Not so dangerous to children then unless they also eat the grass. Iron sulphate is also classed as an irritant so there is a small chance it might irritate pet paws or kids if they are on the grass. In our opinion both of these warnings are just a little bit on the safe side. There is more likely to be a greater risk of kids and pets getting onto the treated areas and then carrying sulphate onto paving or other hard surfaces where the sulphate will cause a rust coloured stain that is difficult to remove. Mixing iron sulphate for use in the garden on your lawn or plants is pretty straightforward. Here we will look at mixing iron sulphate into a solution for spraying on the lawn or plants, though you can also apply iron sulphate dry, by hand, or using a spreader.
