Scientific Breakthrough Leads to Home Lawn Care Solution

All-natural Product Kills Lawn Weeds in Mere Hours

Gardens Alive!(r) introduces Iron X(tm) Selective Weed Killer for Lawns
<http://www.gardensalive.com/IronX> , the first all-natural weed control
to kill broadleaf weeds without harming lawns. It’s the fastest-acting
weed control product on the market, and it’s only available from Gardens
Alive!. <http://www.gardensalive.com/>  Iron X won a 2010 Green Thumb
Award for its innovative solution to weed control.

Although iron has been used as a fertilizer for years, Iron X is one of
the first products to use chelated iron as an active ingredient for weed
control in residential applications. Not only is it all-natural and
fast-acting, but Iron X is the first all-natural weed control to target
and kill broadleaf weeds without harming lawns.

Fast-acting and All-natural Weed control

Unlike other weed control products that require several applications,
perfect timing and a long wait before they take effect, Gardens
Alive!(r) brings you and your readers the perfect product to quickly and
easily combat broadleaf lawn weeds without using potentially harmful
chemicals.

Iron X kills lawn weeds faster than any other broadleaf weed control on
the market. It works by inundating weeds with iron. The form of iron in
Iron X is absorbed much more easily by broadleaf plants such as weeds
than it is grasses, so the weeds are killed almost instantly and grass
remains unharmed.

Within hours of application, broadleaf weeds turn black and begin to
die. Other similar products require 24 hours or more to take effect and
use potentially harmful chemicals as active ingredients. All-natural
Iron X gets the job done faster and without harsh chemicals.

Iron X’s active ingredient is chelated iron-at the most basic level, a
liquid compound of iron, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. All-natural Iron
X <http://www.gardensalive.com/IronX>  does not harm people, wildlife or
the environment. It’s so innocuous that people and pets can enter
treated areas as soon as the spray dries!

Easiest Weed Control to Use

Lawn weed control doesn’t get any easier than this. Simply mix the Iron
X <http://www.gardensalive.com/IronX>  concentrate with water and apply
to your entire lawn with a hose-end sprayer. Iron X
<http://www.gardensalive.com/IronX>  targets only the weeds and leaves
grass unaffected (although you’ll want to be careful not to accidentally
spray trees, shrubs or other plants). You can also use Iron X
<http://www.gardensalive.com/IronX>  to spot treat lawn weeds with a
hand-held sprayer.

Let the Weed Wars begin!

Use Iron X <http://www.gardensalive.com/IronX>  to kill: dandelions,
English Daisy, False Dandelion, White Clover, Black Medic, Bull Thistle,
common chickweed, creeping buttercup, Persian speedwell, slender
speedwell, broadleaf plaintain, dovefoot geranium, healall, shepherd’s
purse, silverweek cinquefoil, wild chamomile, moss, algae, liverworts,
lichens and more.
