Chapin hose end sprayer

Post by Billybob » June 25th, 2012, 4:59 pm

I must be doing something wrong. I know morph has the same sprayer. I was applying the soil conditioner n kelp help today,had it set to 15. I put 2oz. Each and begin to spray,it empties with in 100 sqft or so. Not anywhere near 1000.

Am I supposed to full the bottle up with water with the soil conditioner or just put ingredients in?

Also, does it have to be watered in after application?

You need to fill up the rest of the sprayer with water, I go right to the top and it easily covers 1K square ft.

Use water, or cut back to #21. Or both. I tend to mix all three things in one jar so I dilute each with the others.

Now since I did not irrigate after and it was so concentrated,is that going to be a problem? Tomorrow temp is going to be in high 70s if that needs to be factored in.

Probably not. Setting #15 still diluted that a good deal.

I wouldn't play with that in higher temperatures--irrigate a bit to move it off the grass blades--but I wouldn't panic this once, either.
