"I've been looking for this teaspoon in my kitchen, Aaron!" 😄 Story of my life with my husband, also named Aaron, who constantly takes my kitchen items or house tools to do project even though he has plenty of his own tools! 😆😆🥰🥰 Gotta love our hard working, resourceful hubbies!
Gave my step daughter a small case of basic tools. They have pink handles. Easily identified. I told her losing tools to hubs is a distinct possibility.
My story as well! Because of my hub and older teen boys I finally bought myself pink handled tools with a pink tool bag and they leave those alone. As for kitchen tools….I still find those in the garage 🙄
Finally, I have an answer! I have a struggling maple tree that looks exactly like yours and have had several tree "experts" look at the poor thing. They all only recommend iron injections but no one will do that to a maple tree, only pin oaks, then they walk away. You seem to have the same weather conditions as we do here in central Kansas, so all your advice is relatable to my area. I'm ordering a container of EDDHA iron today and will test my soil Ph for the long term treatment. VERY much enjoy your channel. You have a beautiful voice and a wonderful, enjoyable teaching method. I recommend your channel to anyone asking for gardening help. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this. I have now used the EDDHA on “Little Henry” sweetspire and hydrangeas. Bingo! They turned green within a few weeks. A few months later I’m at it again, but hopefully the sulfur I’ve added will eventually help long term. Our soil is red clay so truly has plenty of iron, which unfortunately is bound up by our 7.9 ph.
@@sharonmitchel1377 I have a sweetspire as well suffering from chlorosis! But the hydrangea next to it is doing fine. This was a new bed of good soil about 10 yrs ago.
Great video…on a different topic…my 15 year old granddaughter just got your Vans and although she has worn Vans for ages, these are now her favorite…you are a fashion influencer!
Very helpful - as always! Particularly helpful is the note toward the end where you distinguish whether a plant is exhibiting damage from too much water versus true chlorosis. Thank you!
Right? I’ve read blog post that will be like “these could all be reasons as to why your plant is yellowing and losing leaves!” But never explain the difference. Just knowing the small difference between how the plant reacts to overwatering vs iron deficiency is so helpful!
I love this type of problem solver video. Could you do the same involving roses? There seems to be so many issues involving roses and their leaves that I’m having a hard time identifying the problem. 🌹🤔
My roses started turning yellow at the top this year. We got a lot more rain than normal and then got hot really fast. I gave them an early dose of rose tone and they greened right back up. I hope that helps. PS. I did that because I think all the rain washed away the slow release Rose Tone fertilizer that I put on them this spring. I didn't have any Iron Tone but the Rose Tone has Iron in it. My dad grew the most beautiful roses here in the Texas panhandle. He would take old rusty nails and cut the sharp point off of them and push them into the ground around the drip line of his roses. I think he knew what he was doing! ❤️
For years my plants die at the end of July. I’m in Maine, Zone 5B. This year I’ve been using Proven Winners fertilizer and Captain Jacks Dead Bug and my hanging baskets and planters all look amazing! I do have a sweet potato vine that is looking a little yellow. It’s in a planter that gets a lot of water. I dare say I know how to take care of it now. Thank you so much! You’ve helped me become a more conscious gardener!
You can try propagating some of the sweet potato vines in another container and once it's well grown, replace the dying one with it. And try to fix the drainage problem .. 😅
We have high PH and clay soil here in Northern Illinois and have a problem with chlorosis, mostly on maples and birch. Our landscapers recommended manganese spikes from Lutz Corp. We had been using chelated iron around the drip line, but the manganese spikes were the key to correcting the problem.
@@noemierollindedebeaumont1130 Yes, it’s a spike of manganese (and I think a small amount of sulphur) that you pound into the ground around the drip line of the tree. “A common cause of chlorosis is a deficiency of iron or manganese, both of which are present but unavailable in alkaline (high pH) soils. They are both needed by plants to form chlorophyll and to complete photosynthesis” - the Morton Arboretum
You guys have talked about chelated iron every so often and I knew you wouldn't steer us wrong so it's EDDHA for my struggling hydrangea. Thanks for making a video specific to this topic. VERY HELPFUL!
A good way to apply the EDDHA iron around large plants such as shrubs and trees is to drill holes with your plant auger (about a 2" diameter is fine) down about 6". I typically drill 6 holes in a circle spaced equally around the tree near the dripline, and then divide the total iron amount recommended on the package (which is based on the trunk diameter) by the 6 holes. Place the iron in the holes and replace the soil to fill them. This gets the iron down in soil and around the roots faster and you don't have to worry about the red staining. The Grow More product packages give instructions on this method. While the foliage spray method will initially give quick results, it is temporary and inconsistent, and you simply can't get enough of the product into the tree. Also, you run a terrible risk of staining everything in vicinity red as well as wasting expensive product. The iron in just about any form will stain concrete, pavers, your siding, etc a permanent rust color. You can also treat via soil drench method by mixing the product with a few gallons water in a pail and spreading around the base of the tree just inside/near the dripline. Again consult the product label for instructions. I treat my susceptible trees and shrubs once every 1-2 years. Best time for maintenance (as opposed to emergency treatment) would be late winter or early spring to prevent the problem from returning. This gives time for winter and spring precipitation to percolate down with the iron around the roots. Even fall could be a good time given that that is when the plant is concentrating on root growth and then your trees are fortified already in the spring when they put out new leaves.
Generally, you need to apply it in early spring, right before the leaves grow. If you do that and don't see additional symptoms, you are good. It's not very effective as a soil treatment in late summer and fall. Foliar iron sprays work better at that time.
I think the whole point of the video was that you can apply it any time during the growing season when you see your plant is in a crisis because it is fast-acting.
You all helped me save a newly planted redpointe when I saw Aaron pour iron tone into those holes around the maple! I wasn't sure if it was transplant shock or chlorosis until I saw the problem moving further down the canopy. Thank you! I didn't drill holes or anything but did put a whooole bunch around the drip line. Within a couple weeks it was beautiful again!
I was just going to ask somebody, how long did it take to see improvement? I treated my blueberry bushes 4 days ago, and I'm still holding my breath. They might die if this doesn't work.
Thank you for zeroing in on this information. Good to have for reference. Best advice of all, I feel, since we’ll all deal with different problems and conditions, ask local experts for specifics in our own areas.
YES! YES! YES! This was so helpful Laura, THANK YOU! Been dealing with chlorosis issue on my newly planted Bee Balm and thanks to Aaron and his iron treatment knowledge earlier in the season I went and bought some chelated iron and have seen a great result. My leaves were dropping but now I’m seeing beautiful lush green new growth! I’ve got a soil test kit and am in the process of testing this clay soil. We moved to this area (southwest Virginia) last year and learning A LOT!
Getting extra sets of teaspoons at the dollar store is a great solution for those “missing” teaspoons. I keep mine in my gardening shed so they are easy to get to when needed. 😀
"I now know where my teaspoon went...Aaron!" Oh that was good :). Great info on treating iron chlorosis! I have that problem in my high ph garden in Utah. Thank you!
Great information! I deal with more acidity in NH. Question: I thought in one video Aaron sprayed a tree or bush with a chelated iron mix. I understand a foliar spray in an urgent situation is more quickly absorbed than a soil application. Can you offer any information about this and what did Aaron use as the spray? Thanks again for your time and effort into making these videos.
Hi Jamie, I’m aware of the instructions on the bottles of chelated iron. I was looking for information on what they used, how well I worked, when should we use it, and so forth.
Laura and Aaron thank you for introducing me to hoselink, gorilla cart, and my felco 14. I have no ideal how I garden without these three things, they are game changers for sure. I use all three everyday. Happy Gardening.
Hey! Also to add that the younger leaves show iron deficiency first because iron is immobile so unable to transfer to them....unlike some other nutrients that leave the older leaves to favour the fresh growth displaying the deficiency in the older leaves...x
I do feel for you over there with that heat! Here in the U.K. we are averaging at about 68 degrees this week and are getting lots of rain. Great info as usual ☺️. 💚🧡🇬🇧
My plant/shrubs don’t grow very well at all. We have clay soil and very hard water. I have to water most of my plants/ shrubs because we usually don’t get the rain we need during the summer months. I bought some of the chelated iron, the exact one you are using, I just got done treating all of my shrubs and rose bushes and threw a little on my peony bushes that look sickly. I’m hoping this helps with the overall health of the shrubs. We will see, I’m pretty sure it won’t hurt them.💚🙃
That was an amazing video. Thank you for all the visual examples. Being able to see the issues and what you are using makes it so much easier to understand.
Can't thank you enough for opening the doors to a better understanding of chlorotic effects! I bought come chelated iron and KAZAM! in no time our Japanese irises, Wisteria and a few others greened up. This channel is wonderful. Thanks for keeping it up. PS I contacted Hartley after seeing your project... I had to be picked up off the floor at the sales tags! LOL
Thank you so much Laura. I am in Norway so finding espoma is not possible. I have been looking everywhere but havent found the right amendment for my plants that is suffering from chlorosis. My physocarpus gold angel have it severly. Among a ton of outhers. I know I have high PH. so I typed in EDDHA and voila! There I found amendment aviable in Norway. So thank you so much. :)
As ALWAYS, you are an awesome educator. This teaching skill is combined with your love for plants , gardening design and Us❤️, your viewers. We are eternally grateful. Blessings to you and your family...from the bottom of our hearts! “As you bless us”. Thankful and grateful 💐💕
Always good information to keep ready! I watch all your videos not knowing when I will need to refer back to them. Your videos have helped me combat mealy bug, leaf mites, aphids and budworms. Without watching I would be lost so thank you!
Could you apply the product with the chelated iron in the spring as a preventative, especially to those plants that have shown signs of deficiency in previous growing seasons?
So much information that I found so interesting.. even though I don’t have a garden! I just love learning and find your channel fascinating. Thank you.. your videos are a “do not miss” for me. Stay safe and I’m looking forward to more!❤️❤️
Studying botany i came to know that it's magnesium thats inside the chlorophyll molecule, so it's pretty important too. Often chlorosis can be a combination of Nitrogen, Magnesium and Iron deficiency. Too much Nitrogen deficiency leads to necrosis, which is the browning death of the leaf.
So, I've been hearing from other gardeners to bake eggshells then grind them finely and apply to the soil around plants. That provides needed minerals. Epsom salt, too. 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of eggshell 🥚 powder depending on plant size.
@@Edu_Kate cool! I'll try it!.. but can you please explain why baking is necessary? 😅ik about calcium in the egg shells but i am a bit skeptical about epsom salt.. it's MgSO4 and i am not sure if it's present in eggshells in that form.
@@oishd6077 The two gardeners didn't explain why they bake the eggshells, but I suspect it makes them more brittle for grinding. Tracy at Tracy's Home & Garden was very helpful in her video on care for roses and clematis, from a month ago.
I just wanted to come back to this video and say THANK YOU. I'm a brand new gardener and this year I planted a Hackberry tree. About a month ago the lil guy started to look pale in the leaves. I didn't know what it was, I suspected iron chlorosis (because of Laura XD) but it didn't have the typical dark green margins and pale outer leaf. After watching this video again and hearing Laura describe that the yellow typically starts from the top of the plant, or the outer most branches, and moves down (which is what my tree was doing) I rushed and ordered the powdered EDDHA Iron she recommends. Guys, after two days, I kid you not, my lil baby tree was flushing brilliantly dark leaves again. It's been just over a week and he's mostly all dark green now, still struggling with the top most affected leaves, but he's pushing new growth for the first time in months. In late July. I am so happy. I have alkaline soil as well and plan on doing the rest of the "program" Laura recommends. Laura and Aaron, thank you so much for the love and knowledge and joy you share. You've helped me and so many others xoxo
TY once again. I have been working in my Colorado yard to green up my grass and to help my Maple tree which has clorosis. I got an unexpected benefit occur with a recent application of Air8 humic acid to the lawn. 4 days later I see my Maple has 1/2 the tree leaves turned green. Kinda late but a perfect result. I will be applying the chelated iron as well. I too have high PH and need to amend my soil. Thank you for your wonderful content. My flowers, bushes, grass and trees will benefit from your knowledge. TY💕
I enjoy seeing the improvements to the grounds, but the informative videos are by far my most favorite, and the ones I will watch from start to finish.
This video is just in time as my maple is showing signs of a struggle. Thanks to watching other videos where you’ve talked about it I had enough knowledge to diagnose, but now I know how to treat!
Have you guys heard of the by product called “slag”? It’s a stone/powder that you can buy in bulk usually that you could top dress. I feel like I’ve read it’s high in iron and many farmers use it.
Your explanation of the difference between chlorosis and over watering was very helpful. I see now that I am over watering. That's an easier fix. Thanks so much for your great help and God bless you!
Thank you so much! This video is so needed for me as I have high pH soil as well and have seen severe chlorosis on my plants. Now I have a much better idea of how to help them😊
I have very high PH soil too. Lots of limestone here. Some plants/trees arent effected. Some are VERY effected which makes you scratch your head. I've heard you speak of this product a lot this season so THANK YOU.
I've been doing everything you've just mentioned since Aaron & you started speaking about it this year & all my plants are looking great! Thanks for the education on iron.
For the iron stains on the fence try the same cleaner you used on your white window boxes…. I remember how great it worked there bet it would help on vinyl fences too ;)
Now I know what's wrong with my primroses. For the first time ever they have that yellowing on the leaves. So I'll give this a try. Thanks for all the good information! And tell Aaron he owes you a new set of measuring spoons. Love you Aaron!!
Our well water has a ton of iron and stains our sinks/toilets/tub/dishwasher orange. Years ago I found a product at our local hardware store called Super Iron Out - it is amazing and is the only product I have found that works for our stains. It works in minutes - or less! I used to use the powder version but now they make a spray/gel version that I like much better. Maybe it will get the stain off your vinyl fence 😊 As always, thanks for the info!!
Good morning, Laura ☕️ Thanks for testing out all these products and sharing your experience. At least now you know where your kitchen utensils are going!🤣 Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
I’m so glad you did this video. We have the same kind of soil as you. I’m gonna be spending some time putting chelated iron on my plants in the next day or so😊
Thank you!! I'm in Santa Monica and even though my climate is different, I never knew why my plants were yellowing! The chelated iron is the difference...Thank you again Laura

We have high PH and clay soil here in Northern Illinois and have a problem with chlorosis, mostly on maples and birch. Our landscapers recommended manganese spikes from Lutz Corp. We had been using chelated iron around the drip line, but the manganese spikes were the key to correcting the problem.
Hi ! What's a manganese spike, is it a spike made of manganese you stick in the soil ? What does it do ?

So, I've been hearing from other gardeners to bake eggshells then grind them finely and apply to the soil around plants. That provides needed minerals. Epsom salt, too. 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of eggshell 🥚 powder depending on plant size.
@@Edu_Kate cool! I'll try it!.. but can you please explain why baking is necessary? 😅ik about calcium in the egg shells but i am a bit skeptical about epsom salt.. it's MgSO4 and i am not sure if it's present in eggshells in that form.

The two gardeners didn't explain why they bake the eggshells, but I suspect it makes them more brittle for grinding.
Tracy at Tracy's Home & Garden was very helpful in her video on care for roses and clematis, from a month ago.
@@Edu_Kate I bake mine so that critters don't mess around and start digging everything up!
Very informative and not confusing at all (and I am a beginner gardener 🌻)
I just wanted to come back to this video and say THANK YOU. I'm a brand new gardener and this year I planted a Hackberry tree. About a month ago the lil guy started to look pale in the leaves. I didn't know what it was, I suspected iron chlorosis (because of Laura XD) but it didn't have the typical dark green margins and pale outer leaf. After watching this video again and hearing Laura describe that the yellow typically starts from the top of the plant, or the outer most branches, and moves down (which is what my tree was doing) I rushed and ordered the powdered EDDHA Iron she recommends. Guys, after two days, I kid you not, my lil baby tree was flushing brilliantly dark leaves again. It's been just over a week and he's mostly all dark green now, still struggling with the top most affected leaves, but he's pushing new growth for the first time in months. In late July. I am so happy. I have alkaline soil as well and plan on doing the rest of the "program" Laura recommends. Laura and Aaron, thank you so much for the love and knowledge and joy you share. You've helped me and so many others xoxo
Thankfully I've never seen this until you showed us in videos. So crossing my fingers and hoping I never have to deal with it.
Great info on the difference with over watering!
Great advice and tips video today..can you show us a update on the rose of Sharon to see how it does now you have treated it.
Always looked forward to your videos....learn something each time...good job! ❤
Such great information! Thank you Laura and Aaron! Hugs and a fantastic week🤗💜🤗
Much needed video, thank you so much.
Always helpful. I am still learning about the garden and need to focus on foliage health. I deal with rust, spots, bugs, and powdery mildew.
Wonderful Laura
TY once again. I have been working in my Colorado yard to green up my grass and to help my Maple tree which has clorosis. I got an unexpected benefit occur with a recent application of Air8 humic acid to the lawn. 4 days later I see my Maple has 1/2 the tree leaves turned green. Kinda late but a perfect result. I will be applying the chelated iron as well. I too have high PH and need to amend my soil. Thank you for your wonderful content. My flowers, bushes, grass and trees will benefit from your knowledge. TY💕
I enjoy seeing the improvements to the grounds, but the informative videos are by far my most favorite, and the ones I will watch from start to finish.
Thank you ❤️... God bless!
Good morning , thanks for the informative video its so helpful ..
Yes very interesting. Thank you so very much for sharing this. Appreciated.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Very helpful, our maple started having this issue after 2 years of no issues at all - thankfully you have lots of great tips.
Thank you! Super helpful to see your results!
This video is just in time as my maple is showing signs of a struggle. Thanks to watching other videos where you’ve talked about it I had enough knowledge to diagnose, but now I know how to treat!
Have you guys heard of the by product called “slag”? It’s a stone/powder that you can buy in bulk usually that you could top dress. I feel like I’ve read it’s high in iron and many farmers use it.
Your explanation of the difference between chlorosis and over watering was very helpful. I see now that I am over watering. That's an easier fix. Thanks so much for your great help and God bless you!
Extremely timely and helpful! I have been using the wrong product! Thank you for this valuable info! 😃
Thank you so much! This video is so needed for me as I have high pH soil as well and have seen severe chlorosis on my plants. Now I have a much better idea of how to help them😊
thank you so much. I have some anual plants that are so sad and seeing your log got my answer for the fertilizer i need..
I have very high PH soil too. Lots of limestone here. Some plants/trees arent effected. Some are VERY effected which makes you scratch your head. I've heard you speak of this product a lot this season so THANK YOU.
I've been doing everything you've just mentioned since Aaron & you started speaking about it this year & all my plants are looking great! Thanks for the education on iron.
For the iron stains on the fence try the same cleaner you used on your white window boxes…. I remember how great it worked there bet it would help on vinyl fences too ;)
Wow you can sure see the benefits 💕
Great info for new gardeners or seasoned having new issues.
Now I know what's wrong with my primroses. For the first time ever they have that yellowing on the leaves. So I'll give this a try. Thanks for all the good information! And tell Aaron he owes you a new set of measuring spoons. Love you Aaron!!
Yeah every time i plant a new rose bush its leaves either get all yellow or all dried up??? After a month or so they start behaving!!
My roses doing the same thing...
Our well water has a ton of iron and stains our sinks/toilets/tub/dishwasher orange. Years ago I found a product at our local hardware store called Super Iron Out - it is amazing and is the only product I have found that works for our stains. It works in minutes - or less! I used to use the powder version but now they make a spray/gel version that I like much better. Maybe it will get the stain off your vinyl fence 😊 As always, thanks for the info!!
WOW - packed with useful info - thanks!
Thank you, Laura. I would love to see Aaron do a video on the arborvitae hedge: care and upkeep; or lawn care?
Good morning, Laura ☕️ Thanks for testing out all these products and sharing your experience. At least now you know where your kitchen utensils are going!🤣 Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
Thank you so much for this information and demonstration❤❤
I’m so glad you did this video. We have the same kind of soil as you. I’m gonna be spending some time putting chelated iron on my plants in the next day or so😊
Pine straw mulch can supply the soil with acid to help fix the pH issue.
Perfect!!! Exactly what I needed to know. Thank you. ☺️
Thank you!! I'm in Santa Monica and even though my climate is different, I never knew why my plants were yellowing! The chelated iron is the difference...Thank you again Laura
I believe the amount of iron for trees is 1-4 tablespoons per inch, diameter of the trunk according to the package.
Good morning all this is why I look forward to your video's very informative and I learn something new from every video
Thankyou for this video.I have a few plants with the same issues..Very timely and helpful..as always 🥰
This is such a great video that I will bookmark and watch time and time again! I love and appreciate all the information and time you present in every video. Thank you!
