100g - Iron Sulphate

Iron Sulphate is a compound containing an Iron atom and Sulphate molecule bonded together with an ionic bond. Iron Sulphate Anhydrous itself is rare and so its is mainly found in a hydrated form; the most common being heptahydrate with a blue/green crystal appearance.

At room temperature Iron (II) Sulphate Heptahydrate appears as a blue/green crystalline solid. Dehydration happens at 70^oC and complete decomposition happens at 400^oC. Iron (II) Sulphate Heptahydrate dissolves in water and the molecular formula for Iron (II) Sulphate Heptahydrate is FeSO₄.7H₂O.

Iron (II) Sulphate can be used to condition lawns. Start by testing a small part of your lawn to test for adverse effects, by applying a 1% solution (10g per litre). If the result is positive, continue applying a 1% solution. If the desired effect is not realised, try increasing the concentration of your solution. Please be careful not to over administer as this could kill the grass.

Iron (II) Sulphate can also be used to increase the acidity of your soil for ericaceous plants. To use, apply 20-40g dissolved in water per square meter.
