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

Product Information

But after seeing the images of how much easier it makes things, you find yourself thinking ‘ahh, no more kinks or damaging the hose or corner of my wall.’

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. 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. When the water hose passes through the sprayer’s nozzle, it dilutes the chemicals from the reservoir before gushing forth from the nozzle’s business end. The dilution ratio determines how much of the chemicals in the reservoir the sprayer releases into the water as it passes through the nozzle.If you’re using a spray gun as opposed the the standard hose nozzle, you have to detach it the gun before feeding it through.

Plants that need regular feeding need regular applications of a liquid fertiliser, such as my Flower Power Premium Plant Food, from March to September. This means feeding them every two to three weeks and dissolving or diluting the feed in a watering can. This can be very time consuming and tiring, especially if you have a lot of plants to feed and especially those in hanging baskets. 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.Considering its budget-friendly price point, the Chapin G390 hose-end sprayer is a reliable choice for those seeking a durable and practical sprayer for their yard. While it may have some minor ergonomic considerations and limited spray-pattern options, it delivers satisfactory performance in terms of spraying capability and ease of use. Limited to a single spray pattern, which may not meet the requirements for all product applications No dilution adjustment—dilution is controlled by measuring the product before adding it to the tank Hose-end sprayers may feature dials that allow the user to adjust the ratio of water to chemicals. These dials are usually set by ounces of chemicals per gallon of water. Many adjustable flow sprayers allow you to set the mix ratio from 1 ounce of chemicals per gallon of water up to 14 ounces per gallon of water. Most fertilizers, pesticides, and weed killers have instructions detailing the correct ratio for the product. 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.

This hose carries water from your tap to the universal drippers that you position around your garden in a way that suits your layout. Long spray: Treating tall trees requires a spray pattern that can reach all the way to the upper branches. Long spray condenses the stream to increase water pressure, enabling the sprayer to reach heights up to 30 feet. 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. A hose-end sprayer consists of a reservoir that holds chemicals for treating landscaping and a nozzle that distributes the water. It uses a standard hose fitting that connects to a standard garden hose. When the hose turns on, the water runs through the nozzle, which mixes chemicals with water before spraying it. Q. How much volume can a hose-end sprayer produce? 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 also be used just for watering your garden – the neutral position doesn’t add the feed to the water. 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. Feeder tends to leak if the hose fitting is not tightly secured, indicating potential issues with the inside washer How long will it last? If I don't use all the tank is it going to denature if left standing for a week? 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. We understand that when it comes to fertilizing a yard, maintaining a row of shrubbery, tending to a flower bed, or nurturing a vegetable garden, handheld spray bottles may not be sufficient for the task. That’s why we decided to test today’s best-selling hose-end sprayers and provide our readers with comprehensive insights into how each one performed.Finally, for best results, apply Miracle-Gro® soluble food every two weeks from March to September.

One of the standout features of this sprayer is the clear reservoir, which makes it easy to monitor the soap level. We could tweak the desired water-to-soap ratio by attaching the nozzle to the hose and adjusting the dial on the top. The inclusion of eight spray patterns enhances its versatility. Shower: The shower setting most closely mimics rain. This pattern has a longer range and higher output than mist while still producing gentle pressure that won’t damage smaller plants. It’s suitable for treating lawns, gardens, shrubs, and flower beds with hardier plants.
