The key facts you need to know about the plastic garden sprayer are:

　　The amount of product sprayed on the lawn depends on the setting of the nozzle holes (ounces per gallon) and the number of gallons of water actually sprayed on the lawn during application.

　　Moreover, because each person's walking speed is different, the spraying width or width is smaller, and the water pressure is also different, so there will always be repeated trials when using the hose-end sprayer.

　　This is our advice on how to use a fixed rate sprayer or plastic garden sprayer to apply the product:

　　Before you start spraying, get a rough idea of ​​the total area to be sprayed (in square feet). If necessary, remove the heel from the toe and measure the length and multiply the width to obtain the area.

　　After determining the total area, determine how many products should be used. For example, if your yard is 4,000 square feet, and you want to use our plastic garden sprayer at a price of 4 ounces per 1,000 square feet, you want to use a total of 16 ounces on the lawn.

　　Connect the garden hose to the sprayer. Turn on the water at a pressure of approximately ½ to ¾ for the best function of the sprayer. You can switch the sprayer to the "water spray only" setting while getting the pressure correctly.

　　If you are using a fixed-speed sprayer, turn on the sprayer (MIX). If you are using an adjustable sprayer, set it to 1 ounce per gallon (for Aerify PLUS) or the recommended sprayer setting on the label of the product you are using. Walk at a slow or normal speed, moving your wrist left and right enough to spray a 6-8 wide strip on the lawn (or garden). Spray enough to ensure that all areas are wetted on it. You do not need to soak these areas at this time. You can water it later.

　　After spraying on a small area (such as ¼ or ½ of a lawn), stop and check how much product is used up. Determine whether you spray too much or too little according to the treated area. For example, if you have processed about 2000 square feet and want to use it at 4 ounces per 1000 square feet, you should use about 8 ounces (or 1 cup) of product.

　　If you use too little time, you will need to walk at a slower speed when spraying and/or spraying narrow strips. If you are using an adjustable sprayer, you can simply increase the spray setting and walk exactly like the first time. Test another area, then adjust as needed.

　　If you use too much, you need to go faster and/or spray a little wider. If you are using an adjustable plastic garden sprayer, you can turn it down to a lower setting.

　　If nothing comes out of the sprayer, check if the siphon is still connected. If there is a filter at the end of the test tube, make sure it is not blocked. Our filters can be cleaned with large paper clips.

　　As we said, spraying with an agricultural mist sprayer always involves trial and error. Even commercial lawn spraying technicians have practiced and adjusted so that their walking speed and spraying pattern are properly reduced. After finishing it once or twice, it will become easier.
