I posted a question about 10 years ago and unfortunately did not get any meaningful replies, so I will try a new posting and hope someone can advise me.
I have had some success with Moss killing with Iron Sulphate granules but that was really guess work with respect to concentration and application.

My question is, what concentration of 20% Iron Sulphate in grams/Sq Metre should be applied and is applying with a drop spreader acceptable. I understand that it is advisable to treat the whole lawn with Iron Sulphate and not just where the Moss appears to be.
 
This is worth the money,

Thanks for the advice pidgeon1, but it not what I asked, I have enough feed for 3,400 sq. Met and a 25 kg Bag of Iron Sulphate. I dont need any more fertiliser, I need a spread rate for the Iron Sulphate. Thanks anyway
 
I'm no gardener, but - What do the ICL instruction say for there product with regards to coverage? Their active ingredient makes up 16%, so the remaining 84% is just a 'filler' for more even spreading. Could you add your 25Kg (16%) to 86% of dry sand as the filler component?
