Great name! Looks like it is a Ferramol (Iron) based formula as used in the new pellets we can get over here now. Not sure what the yellow square is though, some sort of impregnated mat?

If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Yes to Ferramol - like Slug-go etc.

The yellow mat has had me puzzled as well...
