I’m excited to partner up with Central Garden & Pet and share with you, my honest experiences during these Spring and Summer months. I’ll be talking to you about several products like Ironite, Fish Fertilizer, and Seven Dust.
I showed you how we replant our Ivy plants but I didn’t tell you about plant & lawn food, both of which ours need around here, especially with the hot, harsh Texas weather. With no rain and hot temperatures, our plants and lawn are drained daily. We need to provide them some nourishment in order to help them thrive better. Today I’m talking about Ironite Plus Lawn & Plant Food. I use this for my lawn, plants, shrubs, and roses. Ironite is a mineral supplement that is available in both granular and liquid forms. It is formulated to add iron to the soil without burning the roots of grass, trees, shrubs and other plants.
FOR PLANTS & FLOWERS
If you’re using the granules, you simply place them around the plant on the soil and cover with more soil. Add water and you’re done. If you’re using the liquid version, you’ll mix 2 – 4 teaspoons of Ironite with a gallon of water. Pour this mixture around the plants, on the soil.
FOR THE LAWN
Simply attach the bottle to your water hose, turn it ‘on’, and spray. The bottle is made to distribute exactly what is needed during watering.
I expect to see green results soon and look forward to a more vibrant yard, vs feeling like I’m in a dessert.

Bare spots and Dandelions!!
Mushrooms growing in the lawn frustrates us.
I am so tired of having a lawn with weeds, would love to have one of those GREEN lawns!
dandelions are the worst to deal with
One is either the deer or our horse getting in the yard and eating the grass!
Dandelions! When the neighbors have them, they just seem to migrate our way, too.
Weeds, weeds, weeds. We live in the country. Deer, turkey and weeds. My husband always says they were here first. But it seems to always be an uphill battle to keep critters and weeds at bay.
we’ve neglected our lawn and garden these past 2 years since we’ve been away most of the summer… I’m frustrated because my front lawn is bare, and I’d like it to be full of nice green grass-my backyard is over run with weeds, so I’ve got to get out and start getting my yard ready for Summer!
We have so many dandelions in our lawn and can’t seem to get rid of them.
I have a hard time finding the time I really need to care for my lawn.
Crab grass! It is the most frustrating weed ever.
We just moved in to a new house and my frustration is trying to figure out what to do with the plants we already have here. Thanks for the chance to enter.
My greatest frustration with gardening is blight on my tomatoes. In the past I have started out with beautiful tomato plants that I have babied along and then all of a sudden the leaves turn yellow and get curled up. It is completely frustrating.
Every kind of weed imaginable! As soon as I pull them, they reappear!
I cannot seem to keep up with the crabgrass and violets. Even though they are pretty when flowering, they invade my lawn like carzay.
I spray for dandilions but don’t do much else, will have to try this stuff.
crabgrass drives me crazy no matter how much preventer we put down…we still get it

We have a terrible problem with bugs on our plants since moving to the South!

We have a lot of clay in our soil and it bakes the sod
Hi, I do think this is a great website. I stumbledupon it ;) I am going to come back yet again since
I saved as a favorite it. Money and freedom is the best way to change, may you
be rich and continue to help other people.
The weeds in my backyard have taken over! They are choking out my evergreens that I planted a couple years ago.
We’re frustrated by the fact that our dog digs holes in the yard.
Critters that eat the crops, especially tomatoes.
Tired of that dry lawn under my feet with weeds being the best part of the lawn.. would like some weed-free grass under my bare feet in the summer
THe drought and lack of water, we have a good size well, and a sprinkler system. We want to change it up so we have less grass.
i get frustrated by heat waves and trying to have enough time in the day to water and rewater my garden so it doesn’t die
Weeds and dandelions!
My husband gets frustrated by neighborhood kids running through our yard and messing up the grass.
Severe heat on Summer days frustrates me when it comes to managing lawns and gardening.
Another problem is the dogs going to the bathroom on it.
my not so friendly skunk who has a tendancy to eat my tulips and perrenials…don’t like to spray chemicals but don’t like them
Weeds are always a big problem.
We’re in the South and the frustration (or fear is more like it!) with lawn care is the fact that there are snakes lurking.
We have too many grubs in our lawn.
Bare spots are frustrating.
Long winter frustrates us when it comes to gardening.
weeds are running rampant in my flower beds
Another frustration I have is that I’m allergic to pollen and working on the lawn can make me very sick.
Cutting grass in our lawn is frustrating.
i am also frustrated by dandelions…just had strong winds today and saw all my neighbors seeds blowing our way
I’m always frustrated with the weeds!
i cant get my grass to stay green
Yellow is a pretty color…..but not in my yard! The dandelions are abundant in my back yard!
frustration for me is growing on top of red clay dirt which is where it is built
