Q&A
- With the liquid iron in a backpack sprayer, how much needs to be put down? Alike you are spraying for weeds, or soaking to the soil? Does the product just need to be lightly misted on the grass? Thanks in advance!
- 6-9 oz. per 1,000 sqft. Calibrate your sprayer to spray 1 gallon per 1,000 sqft. Just paint the lawn. Practice with water first.
