This is link points to a public service announcement put out
by the state of washington. Its about 1.5 years old, but still
something that should be considered if you plan to use ironite:
http://www.doh.wa.gov/Publicat/98_News/~98-075.html
I'm not as concerned about children eating the stuff (I consider
any "fertilizer-type" product poisonous, so am very careful to keep
them out of children's reach). My concern would be arsenic
leaching into garden plants that I plan to eat. Since I don't
normally eat AG's, its probably not a concern.... but if you
think this might be a good "garden-in-general" application,
please weigh the pros/cons before you do it!
