Yes, that's the site I found. Someone posted some info from their friend on the other site:
"my friend explained to me that apparently, a chelated iron molecule is about 60 nanometers (wide?) and an orchid's pores are about 40 nanometers, so, chelated iron molecule is too big, but the Iron sulfate molecule is only 20 namometers, so, it works very well. Apparently, chelated iron is perfect for most flowers, grass, etc. In fact, chelated Iron is what they put in their TurfPro product. Same microbes and nutrients and trace elements, but, different iron. I guess chelated iron is great for everything else, but, for orchids, you need a slightly different type of iron molecule. Can you tell he is a chemist/engineer? Anyway, I have seen his orchids, and they are beautiful and healthy, so, I will just go with his recommendation. I think you are right, however, in that it is much more than just the iron, but, rather the 'complete package of microbiology and trace elements' etc..."
I'd like to know if anyone can verify what was said, or has tried the product and found it to be effective.
