Miracle-Gro Feeder Unit filled with All Purpose Soluble Plant Food, Connects Straight to a Garden Hose

Product Information

While the Chapin G390 performed well in our testing, it has a couple of minor downsides worth mentioning. The sprayer features a thumb lever on top, which feels less ergonomic than a traditional trigger design. We prefer a trigger-type sprayer for convenience. Plus, it offers only one spray pattern, limiting the versatility of application options. It’s best suited to lawns and low-growing flowers and shrubs due to the downward angle of the spray. Ergonomic handles: Ergonomically designed handles have a curved shape for a comfortable grip while directing the nozzle at a downward angle suited to treating gardens, shrubs, and lawns. Using the Miracle-Gro Performance Organics Garden Feeder is a straightforward three-step process. Fill the tank with fertilizer (the first fertilizer feeding is included), connect the sprayer to the hose, turn on the water, and start spraying.

When used with Miracle-Gro® EverGreen® Water Soluble Lawn Food it makes light work of feeding your lawn ensuring its richer and greener throughout the season. Nematode application methods– Nematodes are supplied as a powder, which is mixed with water and applied directly to the soil with :- Hose-end feeder– Used for applying nematodes to larger areas i.e. up to 200 sqm. This feeder can also be used for applying liquid feed to plants and lawns. Attaches via standard hose-pipe connector and features both a rose head and jet spray as well as an on / off switch for water flow. We supply the Miracle Gro Hose-end Feeder as not all of them are suitable for applying nematodes. This watering system, and any of the smaller or larger sets can be combined with the use of an automatic water controller, like the one above.I looked round for a feeder for liquid fertiliser but the only one I could find in this country was the Miracle Gro liquafeed which, even if it had worked properly, would have been en expensive option as they seal the bottles so that you can't re-use them with other fertilisers. Sneaky. I did try and carefully remove the top and refill but it didn't work. Most hose-end sprayers dilute water at ratios between 1 ounce and 16 ounces of chemicals per gallon. Adjustable-flow sprayers allow you to set the mix ratio. Q. How do you use a hose-end sprayer? Glenda Taylor is a product tester and writer specializing in the construction, remodeling, and real estate industries. She and her husband own a general contracting company, and Taylor is experienced in both residential and commercial building applications. She tests a wide range of power tools as well as other home improvement, household, and lawn-and-garden products. If you don’t want a particular dripper water at a specific time, you can simply turn the screw top by hand to reduce the flow to that dripper.

Hose-end sprayers are made of plastic, polyurethane, and metal parts. Virtually all sprayers use polypropylene (a type of plastic) reservoirs or jars to hold the chemicals they mix with water to create fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and other lawn and plant treatments. This is because polypropylene is lightweight, won’t rust like metal, and can withstand acid and other chemicals without melting. In actual testing, we put each hose-end sprayer through its paces outside in a yard. Most models connected to standard garden hoses, but we tested one foam sprayer with a pressure washer. We used a water pressure of 45 psi (pounds per square inch) with each garden-hose sprayer, which we consistently measured using a water-pressure meter. We filled the garden- hose sprayers with the recommended fertilizer, while the foam sprayer was tested using an automobile-cleaning solution. We tried dilution settings and tested every spray pattern the sprayer offered to determine how well it functioned.It can be used on a multi 2 / 3 way tap connector, to give you access to the tap for washing the car/ filling watering cans, or it can be fitted straight to the tap and doesn’t need a tap adaptor to fit. It comes with the same adaptors as the Metal Threaded Connector above. They don’t require pumping. Pump-style sprayers require you to constantly create pressure inside the tank by pumping up the unit. Hose-end sprayers use the pressure created by running water, eliminating the need for pumping. It works at water pressures between a minimum of 1.5 bars and a maximum of 5 bars, and provides an application rate of 14-litres/minute at 4 bars. While the Chapin G362 performed admirably, it only provides a single spray pattern resembling a fan that shoots slightly downward. This spray pattern treated low shrubs, flowers, and similar areas well. However, this sprayer may have limited versatility for applications requiring different spray patterns.
