Default Iron phosphate to kill moss

In article , John

Hi

After Googling around various lawn sites I went to some garden centres
looking for some iron phosphate to kill moss in my lawn, ahead of
scarifying in April. Couldn't find any in the lawn product sections,
mosskiller for lawns always seems to be sold mixed in with lawn feed.
But came across some being sold as a soil conditioner and feed.

What I can't find though is an application rate for use in the way I
have in mind.

Can anyone advise please - or could I just use the proprietry "feed and
weed" lawn products?

Thanks

Sold by Aylesbury allotment garden store as a moss killer and worm
cast preventer. Sold in great dustbins so you can buy as little or as
much as you like, you dilute and then dilute it again before spraying it
on but not on concrete or you'll get rust.

Will dig out rates that are recommended.
