Hey guys, I have two questions for ya.
1st is I am having a very hard time spraying my compost tea on my patch. The problem is I am trying to use it as a drench and I have to much to spray. My quesion is what kind of pump would I need so I could hook one end to my garden hose. Would I need a submersable pump, I think I saw Genva Emmonds use something like this in one of the Hollands video's. I just don't know what to look for. Next question is liquid kelp. I would like to use my hose end sprayer. How much kelp would I put in the jar and what should I put my dial on when I spray it. Thanks so much.

I agree with Tom....I bought this one and it cranks it out as fast as my regular hose faucet

Hi all- How do you all eventually distribute the CT via your garden hose...hand held sprayer, wand, overhead sprayer, etc.....? I originally planned to use a mazzei injector, but am throwing in the towel at this point due to issues finding the proper flow numbers and what type of sprinkler would create the proper back pressure....I like the idea of the pump....Hapy growing.
