I wouldn't. Being organic and a native plant
user/advocate/grower/landscaper, I am posting this
as a general item to rec.gardens for folks who aren't organic and native
and who, also, might not know about this product.

Oh I know. I was extrapolating!

Dry
molasses sold at feed stores is a much better iron, and it is in an easy
form for microbes to
ingest and make available.

I like agricultural molasses for those reasons.

For smaller areas, black strap molasses which has not been
de-sulfured is another great way to get iron to plants. It can be used
in pump up
sprayers at a rate of one tablespoon to gallon of water, but thoroughly
dissolved in hot water
before mixing it with cold water.
