New sprayer for applying fertilizer

[KennedyMarx]

Seemed like I was wasting a lot of liquid diluted fertilizer so I found this one gallon pressure sprayer at Menards for I think $8. It seems a lot better than using a watering can.

I have a half gallon pressure bottlse for my liquid copper fungicides. (Three actually marked at different strengths.) I think you'll be very pleased with using that.

Please update later and let us know how it withstand regular use.

I have used several of those and decided not to buy any more parts for them to keep them working. Slowly they have all been getting emptied into cheap calibrated 1 quart sprayers and when emptied rinsed and recycled. If you are concerned about a lot of the fertilizer draining out at application you might want to recycle it by using any thing for a tray under the pots and dumping it back into the watering can or storage container. Just a thought for when it stops working. My fertilizer expense doubled over the last year with an eighth of the plants and that was the best thing I thought of to help a bit.

I do that Grimmy...I also let the pot sit a bit before recycling to another plant.
