The good news is, corrosion of iron is preventable AND reversible. Using a rust converter paint on a rusting metal surface will stop the process of corrosion. Rust converters chemically penetrate existing rust, reverse the degradation and leave behind a high quality latex metal primer.

Rust occurs when the iron oxide in metal reacts with oxygen and water or air moisture. This "chemical oxidation" comes in varying degrees of rust damage identified as surface rust, scale formation and deep pits. While rust corrosion is fairly common and can be troublesome, it can also be dealt with. The first signs of surface rust are the appearance of a reddish-brown or reddish-yellow discoloration on iron or metal. As corrosion continues to the scale formation stage, it will soon form a layer of rust that starts to flake off. With enough time, rust will begin to form deep pits and degrade any iron mass which can be particularly damaging and costly. Ultimately if untreated, this deep pits stage will lead to the metal surface's eventual disintegrate.

Bagged topsoil, which is available at many nurseries and big box stores, can be a good solution if you just need a small amount to supplement your soil. Sold in 40- to 50-lb. quantities, it often includes lime, fertilizer and other soil amendments. Topsoil in bags may not be superior to the soil already present in your garden or yard. The team at the University of California’s Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources encourages gardeners to carefully read the ingredients list on any bagged topsoil before you purchase, as it provides more information as to which nutrients and minerals are present in the soil.
