Recommendation for an effective garden sprayer
Last year I attempted to grow outdoor tomatoes for the first time for about
25 years. They all died from Tomato Blight. I understand that this was an unusual event, but I am now slightly paranoid about blight on my outdoor tomatoes this year. I have resolved to use Bordeaux mixture as required, (apparently this is approved for organic crops, contra-intuitively) and I have signed up for www.potato.org.uk/blight email alerts for my post code address (and for my family and friends). It appears that I have been in a full 'Smith Period' for most of last week and again today (Peterborough). What's more there is potato blight in several regions of the uk at the moment. Anyway, I got out my (one year old) hozelock sprayer and attempted to spray with bordeaux mixture. That sprayer is absolutely pathetic! The question is, does anyone have any recommendations for an effective (reasonably inexpensive) hand sprayer which works? Frankly, I'd rather spend a few more pounds on one that actually works - so the 'effective' is more important than the 'reasonably inexpensive' bit. John |
