The advantage of a liquid fertilizer containing iron (I forgot to mention
before that Iron Green is a thick liquid) is that the iron is present in the
right ionic form. Iron is usually not very soluble in water (Fe+3 if I
remember correctly), but the other common form of iron is (Fe+2). The
railroad spike would eventually work, but may introduce other unwanted
metals.
