Pennington Settings for Broadcast Spreaders

How to Apply Ironite to Your Lawn
If your turf grass and plants are starting to look more yellow than green, applying Pennington Ironite Mineral Supplement could be the solution to the problem you are faced with. Vibrant, deep green foliage signifies a healthy, blossoming plant.
Pale green or yellow foliage, on the other hand, indicates nutrient deficiency which can be remedied with Iron, Sulphur, and other minerals contained in the Ironite Mineral Supplement. Ironite can be safely used on your turf grass, shrubs, trees, and vegetables, and it greens them up without promoting excessive growth.
When used according to the package instructions, Ironite will not burn your plants or stain hard surfaces like your driveways and sidewalks. When applying the product to your lawn, do not use more than 3 pounds per 1,000 square feet to avoid burning your turf grass. Use a minimum of 4 times per year to supplement your regular fertilizer application program for best results.
Apply using the correct settings for your specific spreader, but do not exceed 10 lawn applications per year. Mow and water your lawn one or two days before applying the Ironite granules, and water in the product after application. Do not apply if heavy rains are expected in your region, as it can wash away the product from the area to be treated.
Avoid applying Ironite near storm drains, drainage ditches, or water sources. After application, ensure to sweep off any product that falls on hardscapes back into the lawn. Children and pets can safely enter the area once your lawn is dry.
Pennington Fast-Acting Lime FAQs
Can Pennington Fast-Acting Lime be spread with a broadcast spreader, or does it require a drop spreader?
Pennington Fast-Acting Lime can be applied easily with any spreader, including a broadcast spreader.
Can you apply Pennington Fast-Acting Lime during the winter season?
It is best to apply this product in the spring and mid-fall, just before the first frost, so that the lawn can absorb the nutrients through the winter months.
Can Pennington Fast-Acting Lime be used to kill fleas?
Pennington Fast-Acting Lime does not have insecticidal properties, so it will not kill fleas in your yard. We recommend using a suitable pesticide to control the infestation.
Can I use Pennington Fast-Acting Lime to keep snakes away?
Sadly, the Pennington Fast-Acting Lime only helps to even out the soil’s pH to provide a conducive growing environment for plants. It is not labeled to keep snakes away. Do consider using a snake repellant to keep snakes away from a yard.
