Hi Pete - I'm buying all my stuff from Dripworks, but designed it myself. They seem like good people.

Heritage (how 'bout a name - Harry, Joe, anything but Sue Thanks a million for responding. I really need some help with this - I'm completely baffled by it!

We use Peters 20-10-20 in 25 # bags exclusively - about 50 bags a year before this drought. We also use some soluble calcium nitrate (15-0-0) for toms. Our application method is inefficient. We apply it all from a 100 gal trailer-mounted sprayer, using a garden hose, row by row! With the constant filling stops, fertilizing takes at least 12 man/hours a week. I have to do this myself - the volunteer ladies don't drive the tractor. It also wastes a lot of $4 diesel because the engine must run continually at 1500 rpm to keep the mixture agitated and to operate the roller pump (the pumps cost $350 and don't last all that long!)

So we could definitely use an injector. Before I read the links, what models do you use? It would be good for us to buy exactly the same one you use. That way we would have someone to ask if we can't figure it out.
