FAQs

How often should I apply Jarder Iron Sulphate?

Frequency of application depends on lawn condition and needs, but generally, it can be applied every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Always follow the recommended dosage on the packaging.

Can I use this product on artificial grass?

No, Jarder Iron Sulphate is formulated for natural grass lawns and is not suitable for artificial turf.

Is this product safe for pets?

While the product is designed for lawns, it is harmful if ingested. Keep pets away from the treated area until it has dried completely and been watered in. Store the product safely away from pets.

What is the coverage rate of the 2.5kg bucket?

One 2.5kg bucket of Jarder Iron Sulphate can cover up to 2500 square metres when mixed with water according to the dilution instructions.

When is the best time of year to apply Iron Sulphate?

The best time to apply is during the active growing season, typically spring through to early autumn, when the grass can best utilise the nutrients and recover from application.

What does 'harmful to aquatic life' mean in practice?

It means the product should not be allowed to enter ponds, rivers, streams, or drains that lead to waterways. Apply carefully and avoid direct run-off into water sources.

Does this product also act as a weed killer or moss killer?

Jarder Iron Sulphate primarily functions as a lawn strengthener and colour enhancer. While it can help suppress some moss growth due to its iron content, it is not a primary moss or weed killer.

Troubleshooting

Lawn shows no improvement in colour or health

Ensure the product was mixed and applied correctly according to dilution rates. Check for underlying issues like poor drainage, compaction, or lack of water, which may need addressing separately. Ensure application occurred during the growing season.

Grass appears scorched or damaged after application

This may indicate an overdose or uneven application. Ensure you have followed the dilution instructions precisely and applied the mixture evenly. Avoid applying during extreme heat or drought conditions. If scorching occurs, water the lawn thoroughly.

Product does not dissolve completely in water

Ensure you are mixing the powder with sufficient water and stirring thoroughly. Allow a short standing time for the granules to break down, then stir again. Use clean water at ambient temperature.

Staining on nearby surfaces

Avoid application directly onto or near hard surfaces. If accidental spillage occurs on paths or patios, rinse immediately and thoroughly with clean water. Sweep away any excess residue.
