Frequently Asked Questions

How is EDDHA iron different from liquid iron?

EDDHA iron is intended for alkaline soils where other forms may be less available. The manufacturer suggests liquid iron for soils below pH 6.0 and EDDHA for high-pH conditions.

How do I apply it?

Mix it with water, pour it under the plant, and water it in according to the label. Manufacturer copy specifically says it is not designed to be sprayed.

When should I use it preventatively?

Manufacturer guidance says it can be applied in spring as a preventative or as needed through the season. Use testing and plant symptoms to guide timing.

What is chlorosis?

Chlorosis is yellowing often associated with limited chlorophyll production. Iron chlorosis commonly appears when iron is present but unavailable because of soil conditions.

Which size should I choose?

Choose 4lb based on the number and size of plants being treated. Larger bags are more practical when alkaline soil problems recur across multiple beds or plantings.
