Lawn without moss: Iron sulfate (Ferrous sulfate, FeSO4).
Package 3 kg = for 300 m2.

1. Lawn spraying (Moss control).
Moss appears on the lawn if the soil is too compacted and poorly aerated, poor in nutrients, located in the shade, too moist, or acidic.
Iron sulfate helps restore the lawn, making it thick and lush green. Iron plays a key role in plant biological processes and chlorophyll production. Iron sulfate is based on natural minerals and does not harm grass when used correctly.

Instructions: To remove moss, dissolve 200 g of the product in 10 L of water. This amount is sufficient to treat 20 m².
After application, the moss turns black and dies due to a temporary increase in acidity on the soil surface. The blackened moss must be raked out, and the resulting "bald spots" should be filled with soil and reseeded with grass. For a long-term effect, we recommend regularly aerating the lawn and reducing soil acidity with lime if necessary.
Application timing: from April to October as needed. Do not use during drought or heavy rains.

2. Treatment of trees and shrubs (against pests, lichens, and diseases).
For eradicating spraying of fruit trees and berry bushes, prepare a 3-5% solution (300-500 g per 10 L of water).
Application time: strictly in early spring (before bud break) or late autumn (after leaf fall) to avoid burning the leaves. It also effectively removes mosses and lichens from tree trunks.


SCIENTIFIC FACT: Why do plants need iron?
Almost 200 years ago, it was proven that iron salts are necessary for normal plant growth and fruiting. Iron deficiency manifests as chlorosis – yellowing of leaves (while veins remain green), reduced yields, and in acute cases, even tree death.
The classic fertilizer is Iron Sulfate. However, there is a nuance: in its pure form, when sprayed on leaves, it can cause burns and is poorly absorbed because the iron quickly oxidizes and becomes unavailable to plants. Therefore, pure iron sulfate is best applied to the roots or used during the dormant period.

GARDENING HACK: DIY "Chelated Iron"!
The most accessible form of iron for plants is chelated (when the iron ion is bound by an organic molecule). Ready-made chelates are expensive, but you can easily make them yourself using ordinary citric acid.

Recipe for effective feeding:
1. Dissolve 1-2 tablespoons of citric acid in a bucket of water.
2. Only then add 1 tablespoon of iron sulfate.
Citric acid binds the iron, preventing it from oxidizing, and softens the water (working even better than nitrophoska). The resulting solution is perfectly absorbed by plants both when sprayed on leaves and when watered at the root, quickly eliminating chlorosis.
