Can anyone suggest an ad-hoc fertiliser system that I can attach to the garden tap end of my irrigation system? I’m using an automatic Hunter product for the watering, with trickle heads (not drippers, but not sprayers). My bonsai are on a wall so I have to get them down to liquid fertilise which basically never happens because I would have to get them down.
Should I just foliar feed with a mister instead?
Thanks for any advice.

I have tried two smaller “Fertigators” and they would not work successfully on low pressure, only on full tap pressure would they deliver fertiliser Peter

Re: Fertigation - Fertiliser irrigation systems
Thanks Peter KB. I suspect the tricklers would not have enough flow to Venturi in the fertiliser. The vortex sprayers would (sucks the life out of the house water pressure when it’s on) however but they’re on the under hedge and plantar boxes where it isn’t really hard to fertilise haha! Those hedges don’t really need any help growing faster either!!

Correct I also tried different spring pressure, overhead feed in but still no good. Peter
