I did a search for Ironite that I hear alot of people use. went to their website and got excited to try this product then read all the other info on the product like this link.

Is this the same toxic waste other growers are using, or am I behind the times and this product isn't as bad as it says.

Let me know...

i recall tremor posting about a product called iron safe.
i wonder if you could use iron powder.
if you can,,then check a iron foundry near you.

Ernie : I know some here like Ironite. If you dig deeper you find it contains much higher levels of lead, arsenic & cadmium. Do you need these in your soil? This year I used Shultz Iron Green 8-0-0 6%fe. I believe it is much more patch friendly. Hope this helps.
