Can anyone recommend a sprayer thing that you attach to a hose and it has a bottle that you pour plant food into? I've seen several on fleabay and amazon but not sure which one would work. I would prefer one that I can pour my preferred brand of plant food into (Miracle Gro Organic Fruit and Vegetable Concentrated Plant Food in liquid form) as it is quite thick liquid.

Dave, thanks for that. I was looking at that one and I suppose I could just pour out the non-organic feed that comes with it and pour my organic stuff into the bottle?

Looks like it, Tom:

"Box Contains
1 x Miracle-Gro LiquaFeed Gun
Miracle-Gro LiquaFeed All Purpose Plant Food refill bottle "

"It Is Quick To Attach To The Hosepipe And The Feed Bottle Just Screws Into The Top."

"its a neat litle tool as you can put any mixture into the bottle to spray whatever you want!"

That's great, thanks. I must learn to start reading things properly, including instructions!

There are many out there the question is how much do you want to spend. I like you choice of plant food though and the fact that you are trying to stay organic. Would you have any interest in a shurflo nozzle? I think they make the kind you are looking for.

Never heard of Shurflo. I ordered one of the contraptions that dave.m recommended. It should arrive any day now...

I believe Link removed by Mod 6 is used both commercially as well as just for personal use. I just thought I would suggest it as it was a brand I had heard of. Please let us know what you choose and maybe even provide some pictures of your garden area. I love getting ideas for mine from others.

I've ordered on of the Miracle Gro ones (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Miracle-Gro-Liq%20...%20B001BWPD2Q) but it is out of stock for a few days but eh comms from the company are excellent so I'll just have to be patient.

I'll let you know how I get on with it.

My "Miracle-Gro LiquaFeed All Purpose Plant Food Starter Kit" (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Miracle-Gro-LiquaFeed-Purpose-Plant-Starter/dp/B001BWPD2Q) finally arrived yesterday.

It is a great bit of kit and made the job so much easier and quicker.

Pleased to hear it, Tom.
You can spend the rest of the summer enjoying your garden, now.
