That's a great price. Use it as a winterizer or for propagation.

Good idea. In the middle of spring, give them something more balanced in Nitrogen and Potash content. A Magnesium and Zinc supplement at that time is also a good choice.

No need -- it would probably increase the Nitrogen which you don't want to do at this time.

It is not something you would use by itself. The iron concentration is much higher than the nitrogen (nitrogen is really low). If too much iron builds up, it will cause toxicity.

Maybe it's time for you to create a new ecotop and grow your own fert... as a by product of your ecotop I mean.
