This is our favorite hose-end sprayer for applying water-soluble fertilizers. Unlike other sprayers that use a syphon tube, ours works by continuously diluting the contents of the bottle, which ensures a consistent application of fertilizer.

  • Two-position spray tip fits any job
  • Includes easy-to-follow operating instructions
  • Use to apply liquid fertilizers or insect controls
  • Works on lawns, gardens and shrubs

Comments about Hose-End Sprayer:

I used the sprayer to apply my nematode mixture, the only downside was water bubbled out the top as I sprayed and was somewhat messy. I had a hard time knowing when to put more concentrate into the sprayer, as it was almost clear to start with. But it was an easy way to cover a large area quickly.

Comments about Hose-End Sprayer:

the sprayer itself worked good, but I purchased it in connection with the slug guard and because of the way the slug guard worked, I would not have brought the sprayer. So in that respect it was a waste of money. I was mislead in the catalog.

Comments about Hose-End Sprayer:

I used this product with the grub guard. I have used other hose-end sprayers -- many leak water or fertilizers on your hands and arms. This one is great! It has tight seals and the spray adjuster is a great feature, you can slow down the water output or have it come out full blast. With the Grub Guard the little nematodes needed to be agitated, so the full strength output really worked like a charm.

Comments about Hose-End Sprayer:

I have two of these, and both of them effectively dilute and spray whatever liquids I add to them, but....both of them leak a bit from the top of the lid where the sprayer is attached. So sometimes the liquid splashes on the sidewalk, or on my toes.
