    Thanks for posting all this. Texas Ready - who I really trust - highly recommends this method, but there are a lot of naysayers online who seem to be jealous anyone can out perform their meticulous gardens with the system! Nice to see some tips on how to use the system. Love the self watering setup.

    Does the sediment from the fertilizer that didn’t dissolve cause any issues with the sprayer? I think I heard you say you shook the concentrate before using it, so the particles would be re-suspended instead of at the bottom.

  • @kaveman9
    @kaveman9 Рік тому

    I'm trying to do the math but it's a bit convoluted so please help me here. Say you've got a 20wk growing season so using the weekly feed you're using something like 12#/wk x 20wks = 240# of weekly feed for the entire garden, close? But with the electrostatic you're using 8oz of the weekly feed to make 25gal and each gallon is feeding the entire garden for a couple of weeks or more? So 8oz is doing 2-3x the 'work' of 240# of normal weekly feeding? Or am I totally missing it and the 8oz is just the Mittleider micronutrients and the bulk 15-15-15 or whatever is still being applied normally?

    • @smallblockfuelie
      @smallblockfuelie Рік тому

      You’re close. I stop feeding 8 weeks before a frost that would kill crops like tomatoes. For a single harvest crop like cabbage I stop 3 weeks before harvest. Regardless, foliar spray and electrostatic sprayers can potentially significantly reduce the amount of fertilizers needed. The man who I learned about this from is still experimenting too. He recently recommended using 6 ounces instead of 5. I suspect we will see more slight tweaking in the future. Regardless it’s exciting

    • @kaveman9
      @kaveman9 Рік тому

      @@smallblockfuelie Thanks for the reply and certainly follow up with a vid of your mixing schedule. Yes, I'd say a several hundred fold increase in fertilizer efficiency would be a game changer! I've got what I figure as twenty yrs worth of fertilizer and feed stockpiled but I'd love to think I have enough for 4000yrs(or enough to provide fertilizer to a few hundred friends!). Look at the Ryobi handheld electrostatic sprayers. They only hold one liter onboard but that may be an advantage. I bought several complete sprayers locally for 7 dollars apiece and just three more online for under twenty apiece, already have scads of Ryobi batteries and chargers. I predict fertilizer shortfalls for yrs to come. This could save us small timers. Factory farmers want to apply fertilizer once or perhaps twice per season so they're not going to be interested in anything that requires 3x/wk application.
