My EZ Flo quit on me. Here's my new idea for organic fertigation.
I was thinking of getting the biggest syringe I can find, either a meat injector or one for livestock, and using that to manually inject a bucket of organic ferts, one plant site at a time. It sounds tedious, but I don't think it would take that long.
I doubt I can find a needle long enough. I will probably have to modify it somehow, like JB Welding a tv antenna piece on the end. My soil is very soft; it doesn't have to be sharp at all.
I'm looking at products on kelpforless.com , specifically liquid kelp extract, organic cal-mag, potassium sulphate, and their "extreme blend" product, which is a mix of humic/fulvic acids and amino acids. I have some bat guano already. I have a little greensand, but I'm not sure it would flow through my syringe. I'd also probably mix in some blackstrap molasses. Everything is expensive, but $100 or so should get me through the summer.
