Hi Marie,
Thanks, but still not a lot wiser.

Richard M. Watkin,
And you never will be when talking to one who chooses to be deaf, blind,
and dumb.

You probably have seen the reference to greensand in Wikipedia, so let me
describe another thought. One pound of iron (shavings would be best but
use what you can get) in a plastic bucket, pour one can of cheap soft
drink over it and wait 24 hr.. If iron remains, repeat soft drink
addition. When iron is dissolved, it will cover 100 sq. ft.


Why go to all that trouble (to make ferrous phosphate/carbonate/citrate)
when ferrous sulphate (copperas) is so cheap?

If you have iron filings, just sprinkle them around the garden.

A pound of iron should cover a lot more than 100 ft^2, but you're also not
going to dissolve it that easily. (Me thinks you are just pulling this
out of a dark place)
