Today's video shows a front porch that I would love to chillax on all day with a best friend 😊

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

Yes! And I think you know that porch with a friend don't you, lol.

[@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb]

Thanks. Exactly what I needed. Works fantastically. Attached garden hoses/check valve and mounted on a cart to wheel around my yard to water my various plants on my multi-acre property. Has dramatically reduced the time to fertilize my drip-irrigated plants. Very accurate dispensing.

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

That's great! It sure makes the job a lot easier.

I'm already *subscribed* and *like* your videos, *and* purchased the BYN fertilizer...... and now you guys get extra 🌟 🌟 🌟 for the Menards bucket 😁 I used to work for Menards and have to say they treat their employees really well 👍

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

Thanks for subbing!

[@RT-qz5ci]

Great video! Just a tip for others, get a ppm meter. Its a greay way to test the strength on a fertilizer/nutrient solution and make sure its in the range you want and wont burn your plants or grass. They are very cheap!

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

Great tip! Thank you!

[@chadbrooks9029]

I’m getting ready to install this, do you have a video on how to plumb it

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

Sorry we do not have a video on that. Great idea for one though.

[@chadbrooks9029]

@@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses thank you for your help and response;) I was able to get mine plumbed. How do I figure out the ratio of fertilizer to water in the 5 gallon bucket method you used? I noticed you used an entire package of bynf how much water was added for dilution?

[@etnaplantsltd1896]

would this work, attached to an automated watering system with sprinklers? or drip irrigation?

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

Yes, it would. We have two of them in our greenhouses set up for drip irrigation on several thousand hanging baskets.

[@GlenSmarada]

I plan on using 20-20-20 in my fertigation system to fertilize 4 60' rows of tomatoes. How much fertilizer should I mix with how much water to feed the injector?

[@sphinx5101]

Do u trust it ? Like do u trust it over dema etc I know you’re saying they don’t break down but do they mix correctly ?

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

We have had very good luck with them in our 5 greenhouses and they get a workout. So yes, we do trust them.

[@azadtarikian]

is that just for flowers? we are thinking on an injector for lawn (we have about 2 acres of lawn!) thru our underground sprinkler system. Does this will work? and what kind of fertilizer we should use??

[@paulmanhart4481]

This is pretty cool. But what about a simple venturi that pulls in fertilizer by gravity feed? Suspend your liquid fertilizer above the venturi, which is attached to your hose near the faucet, and let the suction pull out the fertilizer in a tube that inserts the bucket of fertilizer. Is that a run on sentence or what? I’ve used venturies for mixing air in fish tanks. Just wanted your opinion. Paul

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

We wouldn't advise to make your own, that would be risky (and unlikely) with keeping the ratio consistent. That's why we love the injectors, we just don't have to worry about it and they maintain an accurate feed rate.

[@calittlegarden-3311]

I have a lot of different water irrigation zones. Is it easy detached and moving around

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

Yes, it is.

[@shadyfieldhomestead1974]

If I were to use this product in my garden for vegetables and I wanted to use something like fish emulsion or Neptune’s harvest that ultimately goes through my drip irrigation, how would I mix it up in the bucket? For example, the fish emulsion is 2 tablespoons per gallon. If I mix it with that ratio in the bucket and the injector is picking it up and reducing it further, wouldn’t that dilute my mixture even more? I’m currently using a chapin 32 oz fertilizer injector and haven’t been quite sure how to mix it. I’ve been mixing it in a gallon with the correct mixture and then posit into the injector. Still I think it dilutes it, nut not entirely sure.

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

You would have to set the ratio on the injector. As shown this injector will only go up to 4% (or 4 parts per 100.)

[@mattteel6101]

What are your thoughts about attaching this to a drip system with a constant small feed?

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

You can certainly do that. For a constant feed use the BYN fertilizer at half-strength.

[@charlescoker7752]

Looked at reviews 17% said it fail pretty fast What happened with your unit?

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

We have several of them running in 5 greenhouses and not one fail, and that is at a commercial level. Ours get a workout and will have 2,000+ gallons go thru them each day when used.

[@vedaruiz7601]

I have 16 200 foot rows for a market garden. Would this be ideal or would I need something on a larger scale?

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

You may need a bigger system or put it into zones so that it's not feeding so many feet at one time.

[@ochappieochappie1279]

We usually mix 150g of complete fertilizer (14,14,14) for every 16L of water and drench 150ml per plant. I have drip irrigation setup for watering but I'm looking into integrating fertilizer injectors. How do you make sure that the fertilizer are distributed evenly via injectors?

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

Usually injectors are pretty accurate with their feed rate. We use Newtry injectors in our greenhouses. They are here: amzn.to/3NnDD6p

[@marilynbauer2019]

Is BYN fertilizer OK to use on veggie garden plants?

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

Yes, definitely

[@dantheman6931]

You can build one for about $20

[@pennyarizzio2824]

How?

[@pete7894]

Its got some bad reviews on amazon 13% bad, how long have you been using the oldest one ? please

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

This is our 3rd season using them in the greenhouses, so they definitely get a workout and they have outperformed the commercially built injectors. We have had fantastic performance from all of ours.
