Fertilizer: The Secret to Magnificent Gardens
By Lela Kelly, Dosatron USA
As most growers know, they
could not produce quality plant material without the use of fertilizers. From
seedling to finished potted plant, fertilization is the key to their success.

Often, plants are only given
water after they leave the ideal conditions of the greenhouses in which they
are produced. After only a few days without fertilizer, the plants suffer and
start to deteriorate. Imagine how other living things react without food –
plants will respond similarly.
One system that allows you to
apply liquid fertilizers through a garden hose is a fertilizer injector mounted
on a movable cart. This portable system
allows great flexibility and is an easy way to apply liquid fertilizer.
On the cart show here to the left, the
fertilizer injector is pulling up a liquid fertilizer that is directly injected
into the garden hose without electricity.

Many European countries have
started installing injection systems in their water lines to apply liquid
fertilizers quickly and easily. The results have been amazing, creating lush,
flowing landscapes they can be proud of. These systems are inexpensive and
reduce the labor it takes to do the watering and fertilizing through garden
hoses.
Often they will install drip
irrigation on their hanging baskets, which avoids bringing in a watering truck.
If this is not possible, a fertilizer injector mounted on the watering truck
can inject liquid fertilizer wherever needed.

landscape will see throughout the summer, into the fall, by applying liquid
fertilizer during the growing season. Your surely will be a winner!
