In line fertilizer / feeder hose

[BonjourBonsai]

I'm thinking ahead to watering. I'd like to feed with diluted miracle grow weekly in the growing season. I use a hose with a watering wand with this Dramm diffuser: Dramm 074994324268 11000 1000PL 11 GPM Plastic Water Breaker Nozzle, Chrome https://a.co/d/3KlkrCd

I'm thinking of adding this. Anyone have experience with it?

I’m sure it would work, looks like you need to adapt back to GHT to get to your wand. They make other inline siphoned systems that can drop into a bucket, etc.

I might also be concerned of salt build up in the nozzle head given how fine the holes are on the red Dramm head. That could be rectified with cleaning, just something to think about

I have used this for the last 2 seasons with the same Dramm you bought, it works great.

I hadn't thought of the salt build up. I'll keep an eye on that.

Does it allow you to regulate the mixture? From the description on Amazon it looks like it's a 20:1 ratio. How do you prepare your dilution?

You will want to add a filter to the suction tube and a weight to hold the tube and filter at the bottom of the bucket. I also “upgraded” the check valve and suction hose. The water pressure and your hose diameter will determine how much solution is being drawn from your solution bucket . I use a 3/4 garden hose and I usually mix about 6 tablespoons of Jacks 20-20-20 into a 12qt bucket.. You can dial it in to get the mixture right. In the beginning , I would fill a clear cup with the water/solution mixture to make sure the color of the final mixture was a faint blue, before I begin watering.

This is what Jack’s recommends, so it will get you in the ballpark
