Default Iron Sulphate as a selective lawn weeder?

Been looking around for something to get rid of broadleaf weeds in lawns,
preferably something soluble that can be applied with a watering can.


not sure how big your weedy patches are, but if you think you can manage it,
boiling water is just about the only thing going for broadleaf weeds imo!
you could use it in a watering can too (as it doesn't have to be literally
boiling).

however, if that's out of the question, i'm not sure what else to suggest,
sorry :-) i hope you get some more replies (it must be spring - we've all
gone awol here!!!) as i have out-of-control paterson's curse patches, which
really are far too big for the old boiling water treatment.
good luck
