Is anybody using a Ez-Flo injection system with Jacks 20-20-20? Also, have you got the solution rate figured out( @ 1.5 tsp/ gal/ week)? I am using a 25 gpm pump irrigation system on 600 sq ft. For any mathematical genouses out there, the flow rate is 100:1 on fast setting and my unit is 3/4 gal...and how long should that be ran on a weekly basis? Now there's a college test qustion that I'm glad I never had to answer, lol! Or is easier to just mix 1.5 tsp/ gal and hand spray?

James, the 3/4 gallon ez-flo delivers whatever you put in it, at the following calculations;

Slow = 1000:1 and uses 750 gallons water
1 = 500:1 and uses 375 gallons water
2 = 250:1 and uses 185 gallons water
Fast = 100:1 and uses 75 gallons

So, set it on fast and put in 75 x 1.5 tbs and it will deliver at the rate you want.

If you were going to mix that much water-soluable fert into your ez-flo...I would put it on the #2 setting and let it feed at a more moderate rate....or just put in 1/2 the recommended mixture and blast it all out on the fast settng and deliver exactly 75 gallons.

I used similar water soluble fertilizers through EZ flow and drip irrigation last year. figure out how much fertilizer you want for 600 sq ft, put it in the bottle and set it on fast. once the fertilizer is gone the rest will just be water. If it is hot your plants may need more water, but not more fertilizer. Remember that your plants should be getting nutrition from your patch soil, too. I guess I'd probably put in 2 cups a week and then watch how your plant responds.
