> What is Ironite and how does it help maintain soil nutrient levels? Ironite is an odorless, natural soil supplement and fertilizer containing a unique balance of trace elements that enriches plant and lawn growth. Ironite is not manufactured from any toxic waste product but rather from naturally occurring minerals, providing plants with the natural nutrients needed for healthy growth. In addition to a minute amount of nitrogen (1 percent) to stimulate nutrient uptake by the plant, some of the naturally occurring essential nutrients found in Ironite are: iron, required for the formation of chlorophyll; zinc, an essential element in plant enzyme systems; sulfur, an essential protein ingredient; calcium, an essential part of plant cell wall structure; magnesium, an essential ingredient in chlorophyll formation; manganese, activates enzymes involved in healthy plant growth; and cobalt and molybdenum, essential for normal regulation of nitrogen.

Among the ingredients listed above, Ironite contains small amounts of two naturally occurring minerals: galena and arsenopyrite. Galena is a combination of lead, silver, zinc and other elements fused together by millions of years of heat and pressure. dence (if you aren't already).
