Professional Iron Source

Lean and Green bag in grass

Other lawn iron supplements use ferric oxide (Fe3+) as their iron source. The availability of Fe3+ is highly dependent on the soil pH, and is mostly available in acidic soils (pH of less than 7). For each one unit in pH rise, Fe3+ availability reduces 1,000 fold! The iron source in Lean & Green is ferrous sulfate (Fe2+), a highly plant available form of iron that is not impacted by soil pH ranges. This is especially beneficial considering most iron deficiencies occur in high pH soils.

When to Apply Lean & Green

  • Lean & Green can be applied in conjunction with another fertilizer at the time of application and with fertilizer programs.
  • Apply when turf is actively growing.
  • Do not apply during periods of extended drought unless irrigation is available and used.
  • It's not uncommon to see small patches of black/brown spots in turf after application. This is cosmetic, not damaging to the turf and resolves quickly. Applying to a dry lawn and watering-in deeply can help avoid this.
  • Be sure to sweep misplaced product from driveways and sidewalks as it will stain.
  • Has a cumulative response in turf - For best results, reapply every 4 weeks.

Reviews

Excellent for Staying Green

"While my yard may not be the best looking to others on here, it is definately the best looking in my neighborhood. Staying green with the summer heat without excessive growth so I do not have to mow too often in the humidity."

Gage (4/5)

Excellent

"Spreads easily and makes the grass very green , added benefit it will prevent and kill lawn moss"

Richard B. (5/5)

Lean & green

"First time using and so far works great . I use it with the PFG complete"

Eric C. (5/5)

Gret Results!

"Applied it for a second month and the "stuff" is as good as it gets! I will apply The Andersons 4-2-0 Fertilizer with Hydra Charge in a few days to supplement. I'm experiencing some clover growth, and I've read the cause is a nitrogen-deficient lawn. So, applying the 4-2-0 fertilizer hopefully will do the trick."

Miguel M. (5/5)

Helpful for my Bermuda

"I have challenging Bermuda grass. Due to slope and more shade I have to keep my deck higher when I mow. So that dullness can show more at 4 inches and not the ideal 2 inches if I had a perfect scenario. The first time I put the product onto the grass unfortunately I got a ton of rain and I think that that impacted the way that the product worked because it really got hammered pretty quickly after the first application so yesterday I put down a second application and I can see today after a day and a half that it’s looking a little bit greener. I need to give it some more time. I will definitely do a third bag because I do feel the effect is cumulative and my grass is taller, so I think that this will be a benefit and I do recommend the product even though I can’t see the full benefit yet"

Eve W. (4/5)

Amazing Product

"This was the first application of Lean & Green. My lawn really perked up and about 90 % of my front lawn is green & thick. I've received compliments from a neighbor on my lawn and asked my what fertilizer product I used: I show him a bag of The Andersons Lean & Green - he said he'll give it a try. I'm applying a 2nd application of Lean & Green after 5 weeks from applying the first. So. I'm looking forward to seeing my lawn even thicker and green!"

Miguel M. (5/5)

Lean and Green!

"I don’t think the Lean and Green has truly kicked in yet (applied 3 days ago followed by a light rain), but between the Humic DG, MicroBlitz, Anderson’s 30-0-4w/Merit, Anderson’s 18-0-4 w/Barricade, and Anderson’s 16-0-8 w/Humic DG, my lawn is the greenest and healthiest it’s ever been!"

Kelly D. (5/5)

Lean and Green Virginia

"I applied it as per instructions on 7/08, we have 95+fahrenheit almost everyday and the lawn looks green and "healthier" (even that I do not have the best lawn). We have some moss in lawn and a lot of mossy spots turned dark after a few days yet not! the grass. I had applied last year HumicDG plus Humichar and in 2024 a bag of BioChar. As said grass looks much better this year than last year. I am happy with the progress. Thank you Anderson-Wizards ;))"

Ingeborg P. (5/5)

Great product

"Worked as advertised. Lawn greened up within a week with limited top growth in Georgia summer heat."

Paul (5/5)

Lean and Green

"Works as described, however few days after application, rain came & the granules that fell in the driveway creases washed out and left iron stain marks on driveway, I had swept & blew what I could back onto lawn after application, particles so small hard to get out of driveway expansion lines."

Q&A

3 quick questions I purchased 2 40 lb bags when it was released Is this quick release ? How long does it last unopened ? Also what&#x27;s the ideal temperature to put down the 10-10-10 to jump start ? Also will be putting down barricade I am in northwestern nj Thank you
Lean &amp; Green is quick release. Unopened fertilizer, kept in a cool and dry place, can be stored for up to 2 years.Fertilizer can be put down in the spring when your lawn comes out of dormancy and starts growing again.
Can I apply Greenshocker 2 weeks after lean and green without burning the grass?. I have used lean and green twice now with no green up. It just turns large areas of my yard brown. Thanks.
Yes, GreenShocker is okay to apply 2 weeks after a Lean &amp; Green application.
Hi, I see that this product is listed as a supplement/fertilizer. My question is do I use this together combined with another fertilizer or do you use this as a standalone product? Thank you
Lean &amp; Green may be used as a stand alone product are applied in conjunction with another fertilizer.
I live in northern part of Illinois. Can this product be used in the fall for an October green up on cool season grass.
