Why not a fertilizing hose attachment?
This is a gadget which should exist, but I haven't seen it yet.
Suppose you want to water a large area of ground which you have just sown, and add some liquid fertiliser at the same time. The area is too large for a watering can, or even a portable spray if you are going to do it properly. You just want to use a hose. So it would be handy to be able to screw on a spray attachment which would release small quantities of minerals and other nutrients in the recomended dilution, ie in proportion to the water-flow. Any offers? Ken Cohen |

Any offers? Ken Cohen I've definitely seen something like this advertised. It's like a bottle which holds the fertiliser or whatever, and it gets mixed in with the water when you spray. Can't remember who makes it though. Martin -- Martin & Anna Sykes http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~sykesm |

snip I've definitely seen something like this advertised. It's like a
bottle which holds the fertiliser or whatever, and it gets mixed in with the water when you spray. Can't remember who makes it though. Martin Miracle Gro. They were on special offer in Homebase last month - I think I paid around £5.99. Works well. |

Yes but the annoying thing about these 'branded' ones is that you are tied to their fertilising product. I have loads of liquid seaweed feed and I'd love to be able to set it up to work through my leaky hose system. I'm looking for a more generic one at the mo (have the MiracleGro one and it is good for its product). --Alison |

Try any good Horticultural suppliers (NOT garden centres or the major sheds, they don't do this sorta thing) and ask for an 'inline hose diluter' for the domestic market an 'hose end feeder' has been available for many years.. The latter are cheap, the former more expensive but better IMO as they allow a variety of feeds/solutions to be mixed (they are used by growers for applying feeds/pesticides etc to crops.) About 40 quid + IIRC. try LBS etc.. // JW |
