Angela,
Close but no banana! Sluggo has 1% iron phosphate, which is probably even better as a fertilizer in rainy areas. However, the ferrous sulfate is a lot cheaper to buy. I just paid $10.00 + $9.85 shipping for 10# on eBay. That would get you about 2 + 2 # of Sluggo or equivalent here. I am thinking of trying to make my own Sluggo substitute with 2% or so of the ferrous sulfate in oatmeal, etc. (breadfruit, taro ?). It would sure be a lot cheaper.
