I use the NewTry brand injector (an Amazon startup company). Don't notice any meaningful pressure drop. For pre-mixed liquid fertilizers can simply select the concentration needed by adjusting a valve, drop the siphon into the fertilizer and start watering. For water-soluble fertilizers, need to do the necessary calcs to apply correct pre-mix concentration.

You made this video starting a new system. To consider making the video for a while or perhaps you could give us an update if this is an out your standard fertilization set up and if you’ve had any issues with the system. A significant number of people who purchased the same siphon on Amazon. We’re not happy with how are the products performed. My primary purpose for using this is to acidophile city water to a pH just below seven. My tapwater is chlorinated to a pH of around nine. The pH of my soil is still healthy, but I think my plants are going to absorb nutrients better if watered with neutral water and unfortunately, I don’t have access to and chlorinated water for irrigation Best, Mats H

Well I've tried a few things, but no siphon is entirely trouble-free. The brass siphons tend to back-flow on me pretty severely. This plastic siphon is reasonable. It has a little plastic backflow preventer in the supply tube that it liable to break apart over time or with handling, but I've applied some superglue to the outer edge which helps to keep it together. The siphon also really does work better with a 50ft hose max and the smaller diameter breaker provided in the kit (it needs the back pressure to engage the siphon). I get pretty consistent result when used under those conditions.

Nice detailed presentation Jason, as usual. I've been using a brass HOZON injector at home for about 40 years, 1:16 dilution, it requires 35PSI minimum water pressure. Does the DRAMM have a minimum PSI requirement? We used a huge adjustable GEWA at work, we always strained the concentrate through cheesecloth or muslin just to be on the safe side.
@FraserValleyRoseFarm3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Rich. Yes, 35psi is the minimum for the Dramm siphon as well. They also recommend an output hose no longer than around 50ft because of that pressure drop I talked about.

@denipar693 жыл бұрын
Love the idea for sure! But I’m still confused about the mixing ratios. For instance if I wanted to use liquid kelp or fish emulsion, would t it be to watered down? First in the bucket and then by the added water from the hose? So who knows what the correct ratio should be? Less is always better than more for fertilizers but I more than likely won’t use 100 gallons of water when doing my veg garden. I do like the gadget!
@FraserValleyRoseFarm3 жыл бұрын
Hi Denise. The correct ratio in the "stock solution" bucket (whichever size bucket you use) is 20x the rate you want as your final rate. For the sake of simplicity, let's say you mixed in a 1 gallon milk jug instead. If your fertilizer instructions said "1 tsp" per gallon, you would multiply that by 20 = 20tsp (I can't help but jump over to metric for ease of calculations, but that's 5ml x 20 = 100ml) in one gallon of stock.

Hi Jason. I’m new to gardening this year and I planted 5 hybrid tea roses in the yard in early May. They are doing really well! But we just found out we have to move suddenly to a new home about fifteen minutes away in about a month. Will I be able to take these young roses with me? From what I read online, it sounds possible but I would need to keep as much soil as possible around the root ball and wrap in burlap to protect the roots during the journey. What do you suggest?
@FraserValleyRoseFarm3 жыл бұрын
Yes, it's doable. When you get to the new place, (depending on how hot it is) you might consider potting the roses for a bit and keeping them in a semi-shaded location to reduce stress. Or, if you put them straight in the ground just be sure to stay on top of watering.

Hello, thanks for the video. Just wondering if you have a problem with water flowing back into the mixing bucket when you shut off your valve at the watering end of the hose.
@FraserValleyRoseFarm2 жыл бұрын
Yes. There's a little plastic check valve on the clear supply tube to the siphon. On 2 of the 3 siphons I've installed, this check valve popped apart, losing the little spring that stops it from backflowing. The third one I dabbed with superglue so that it's held together and is still working fine. It seems like a design weakness to me. In any case, I now need to shut off the supply water if I'm going to pause watering for any significant time, otherwise the stock tank will fill up with water and become diluted (or even overflow, wasting the nutrients).

@FraserValleyRoseFarm3 жыл бұрын
I could be wrong, but I think the listing said these siphons can work reliably down to around 35psi supply. Drip irrigation can be a problem because if you're trying to feed to many emitters, the back pressure on the valve will be too low to pull the fertilizer. It might work okay with a short length and a small number of emitters
