We've Changed How We're Treating Yellowing Foliage and It's Working! 🌿💪 // Garden Answer 

"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!

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.

You are a great teacher Laura. Thanks for breaking it down in such detail!

I went by the local dollar tree and got measuring spoons, measuring cups, and ice scoops for my gardening.

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!

New to gardening and wondered about over watering vs iron issues. Love how you explain things!

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!

How often is the chelated iron applied? Once a week, a month, a season, or?

Aaron takes the measuring tools from the kitchen and Laura takes the lens brushes from the camera equipment to dust off dirt from plants. haha

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.

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. 🌹🤔

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.

I discovered EDDHA iron myself recently and it has been nothing short of miraculous for a hydrangea chlorosis problem I had been fighting for years.

Just arrived home from the office. Nice to see one of my fav to post a new video! Love from Malaysia

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.

Laura, when you’re missing kitchen utensils, head to the barn. 🙂

Great information. I keep coming back to this video for help

You are such a great teacher xx

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. 😀

Giving up a teaspoon for the beauty to enjoy the thousands watching. Love it! What lessons to learn for us. Thank you

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!

Great info! Thank you! Also, thanks for the captions.

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!

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 ☺️. 💚🧡🇬🇧

Good Monday morning! Coffee ready!☕️☕️

My son learns so much from you..!!!!!🤩 it is because of you that his garden is going awesome 👏 his first pumpkins are almost ripe already 👏

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.

You have taught so much and are a true inspiration. I enjoy watching every day. My Landscaping is improving. Thank you so much; everyone💝

Hello gardening friends 🖐🌸

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 have mentioned in other videos that Aaron has also applied the iron as a foliar spray. Maybe for a quicker absorption? Can you elaborate on that?

Laura! This Is a Masterpiece and a Love from someone else in another country! This is a Legend! One person of a kind. The Garden is Marvelous! I Love it! So Beautiful! The Garden is a great place to stay.

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!❤️❤️

Such great information! Thank you Laura and Aaron! Hugs and a fantastic week🤗💜🤗

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.

Great info on the difference with over watering!

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.

We need a garden tour ASAP 😍 plants looking gorgeous!

Hi Laura and Aaron! I really appreciate the way you explain things so that everyone can understand what you're telling/teaching us. Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you! Super helpful to see your results!

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!

Thank you for this video! I think a lot of us get confused w/ the different iron types out there and this helps clear it up. Great work you guys! 😉🙂👍👍👌

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.

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 helpful Laura. Thank you!!!

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 💐💕

This is super information 👌. It's great that you are able to see real results from your treatments!

You answer so many questions in such a short time. It may take me watching a few times to really know the information, but I love it! I now feel like an Iron Deficiency Warrior armed with knowledge and EDDHA 💚😆💪🏼

Great information….thank you so much for sharing!! We so appreciate the time and efforts that you put into educating us.

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!

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!

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.

Perfect!!! Exactly what I needed to know. 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.

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 😊🐈

Good morning from the UK. Fantastic information as always. Thank you for the glimpse of the Hartley, made my day. Take care.

Morning GA, We so needed this lesson. Our cucumber have bit the dust. We might have gotten 10-12 cucumber this year and a couple weeks ago when you were talking about the iron I went and got iron-tone. It helped a little but I think they needed more. I will have this keylated iron next year for sure. Thank for sharing this, much love ❤❤ StL Missouri 6a

Great information!!! Love the combination of the Blue Chiffon Rose of Sharon and the Flashpoint Kniphofia!!! So beautiful!!!! 💕💕

"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!

I took over a plant nursery recently and started to learn more about plants as I go along. Thanks for this video, very helpful. Would love to see updates of these plants in a few weeks time to see how they responded. Keep well!

Excellent info! Yall have solved my problem!

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 for this lesson on overwatering. This has been a strange year for gardening for me! The explanation between chlorosis and overwatering made it much easier to diagnose.

Always looked forward to your videos....learn something each time...good job! ❤

You explained this so very well! Thank you! I feel like I have a very good understanding of chlorosis and the remedies.

WOW - packed with useful info - thanks!

Perfect timing, was at home depot yesterday searching for iron left feeling a bit overwhelmed 🙋🏻‍♀️

Much needed video, thank you so much.

Thanks for the great information. I had no idea and you explained it perfectly. This is why I love your videos. You are so knowledgeable

Wow you can sure see the benefits 💕

Extremely timely and helpful! I have been using the wrong product! Thank you for this valuable info! 😃

I'm so glad I watched this video! I have chlorosis in my yard and I will be using the products that you have presented here! Thank you, I learn something about gardening all the time from you.

Very informative and not confusing at all (and I am a beginner gardener 🌻)

Another keeper in the saved video file

Good morning all this is why I look forward to your video's very informative and I learn something new from every video

Super helpful. Thanks. This is what’s happening in my yard right now.

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’ve always had to add chelated iron to some plants and amend with soil acidifier whenever fertilizing. I love that you show options for everything.

Thank you Linda really find your videos so informative and learn so much from you regards from the South East Coast of Ireland 🇮🇪😀😊👍

Thank you always learning something new 🥰

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 just got to say thanks to you I have given it another chance to do flower pots because I live were it is above 100° degrees for 5 months out of the year and now you are helping me save my 80 year old roses that have a iron problem ❤️

Distinguishing between over watering vs chlorosis was VERY helpful. Oh, I love your instructional videos! Exactly what I needed.

Great info for new gardeners or seasoned having new issues.

Thank you so much for this information and demonstration❤❤

Thanks for sharing 👍 very helpful 🙂

Very helpful tip on identifying the difference between overwatering and chlorosis.

I was just researching this yesterday.... thank you.

good info today Laura! so needed.

Thanks Laura. That was excellent info.

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.

Thankyou for this video.I have a few plants with the same issues..Very timely and helpful..as always 🥰

Thank you, Laura. I would love to see Aaron do a video on the arborvitae hedge: care and upkeep; or lawn care?

Thank you! That was a very helpful video. I live in a high pH area. I now know what products will be good to use!

Thank you! Will go and check it out, perhaps this is what are plants are dealing with rather than too much water. 🇦🇺

Thank you! This was so helpful! We have a tree ( I think it's some form of dwarf fruitless pear) that has been yellowing for years and I have tried extra iron but not the chelated. So, looking forward to see if this is what it's needed as well!

Very helpful, our maple started having this issue after 2 years of no issues at all - thankfully you have lots of great tips.

Great video! So informative. Thank you so much.

Lauraaaaa i just love your gardennn♥️♥️♥️

Super informative! Thanks!!
