    Hi everyone. I hope you are all well in this odd time.

    Last year to apply my Pro-Kleen Iron Sulphate I used a manual pump and sprayer.

    This year I'm wanting to do it via a self mixing hose pipe sprayer to really cut the time it takes to spray down.

    Does anyone have any recommendation as to which sprayers they prefer or use? Everything you find on the internet is heavily waited towards the USA.

      There are some domestic ones around but they are aimed at feeds and not iron. The way you do it is best as it’s contained and the dosage if you have a good sprayer will be better.
      Domestic type spray feeder one attached to hose tends to leak, not good with iron and they are not particularly accurate with the dosage. Fine if say you just want to liquid feed but iron is a no no.
      If it’s a hand held sprayer You use you could think about a knapscack that holds more water so greater coverage but understanding the weight issue on your back and nozzle requirements.

      the other issue is that hose feeders will not be able to mix the iron unless you dissolve it first.
