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

Product Information

Hose-end sprayers harness the force of water pressure to efficiently dispense pesticides and fertilizers over large yards, gardens, and landscaping within minutes. These devices typically consist of a plastic container attached to a nozzle that connects to a standard garden hose. The nozzle effectively blends the chemicals from the container with water, enabling precise spraying onto targeted areas of the landscape. I agree with Kristen and use slow release feed in March every year. I do feed my plants with a very dilute feed a few times during summer as well, but that's more to give them a different feed such as seaweed and is probably superfluous but I enjoy doing it. I do feed the flowering plants such as Fuchsias and Roses with tomato feed in between as well. Ahead, discover the most important features to look for when shopping for one of these handy sprayers, and find out how the following models earned a spot on our lineup of the best hose- end sprayers. 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.

Fixed-rate sprayers use a set ratio that the user cannot change, while sprayers with an adjustable flow have a dial that lets the user tweak the mix ratio. To alter the ratio in a fixed-rate sprayer, one must dilute the chemicals in a separate container prior to adding them to the reservoir. For applying nematodes to larger areas i.e. over 200 sqm or for regular nematode application, use a Nematode Applicator.Glenda Taylor is a product tester and writer specializing in the construction, remodeling, and real estate industries.

I have some bottles with a little measuring dispenser built in, and it would be so nice to squeeze a dose into the watering can, rather than a spoonful and then having to swirl it round for ages to get it to dissolve. Foaming: The foaming setting is meant to be used with soap or certain types of pesticides. The nozzle agitates the chemical or soap and water to produce a sudsy lather. This makes it ideal for washing a car or for certain pesticide applications. Hose-end sprayers are similar in function to many hose nozzles, allowing you to adjust the flow pattern of the water by twisting a knob or a nozzle tip. Typically, they’ll have up to four spray patterns ranging from a light mist to a narrow, high-pressure stream. These adjustments control the amount of fertilizer, herbicide, or inoculants the sprayer distributes in the yard, on trees, or onto flower beds.

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. 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.Turn the tap fully on and squeeze the trigger to start feeding. Hold the feeder in the upright position and apply the plant feed evenly, thoroughly wetting the soil around the roots and the foliage.

Using the Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder is a simple three-step process. First, add Miracle-Gro water-soluble plant food to the tank. Next, connect the feeder to the hose. And finally, start the fertilizing process by squeezing the trigger, which causes water to fill the tank and dilute the product. The Miracle-Gro Performance Organics Garden Feeder offers functionality and a design that’s similar to the preceding product on our list, the Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder. With trigger technology for one-handed feedings, this sprayer provides convenience and efficiency. It also includes three spray patterns—broadcast, shower, and jet—which all performed well during testing.Hose-end sprayers are handy and practical, but they’re not as precise as pump sprayers, where the user mixes a specific amount of product in water and adds it to the sprayer tank. If you’re concerned about getting too much or too little weed killer or pesticide, you might be better off going with a pump sprayer and mixing the solution by hand. Additional Features The Chapin G362 has a translucent white tank and measurements in millimeters and ounces so we could easily see how much concentrated liquid we were adding to the tank. This sprayer accommodates only concentrated liquid products—it’s not for use with granular products. We appreciated the wire flip mechanism that enabled continuous water flow without us needing to maintain pressure on the sprayer. How long will it last? If I don't use all the tank is it going to denature if left standing for a week?

Tend to your lawn and garden without spending a lot of money. We found the affordable Chapin G390 lawn and garden sprayer a durable and reliable option for various spraying needs in our yard. It has a 32-ounce chemical-resistant poly tank and a universal fitting to attach easily to any standard garden hose. The kit includes 10 drippers that can be tailored to your garden and deliver water from 0 to 40 litres per hour in the surrounding area. 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. This hose carries water from your tap to the universal drippers that you position around your garden in a way that suits your layout.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. 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. 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. We followed the instructions to clean the sprayer after use, which required us to turn it upside down and run water through the jar. This rinsing took less than a minute and cleared out all the fertilizer residue. This makes life even easier for you and means you can manage your beautifully healthy garden without even needing to turn the tap on!
