I've tried this twice now, with a basic Ace Hardware 1-gallon sprayer that works great with plain water, and each time the sprayer eventually clogs up, or something, and won't spray. Last time I tried it, I even strained the mixture through a cloth to get out any errant coffee grounds or other particles, but it still wouldn't spray after the first few moments.

I have to say that the plants that got sprayed, both times, perked up immediately overnight, even though they looked healthy to begin with. This stuff is great, but I need help with spraying it. Any ideas?

Thanks.

about 3 weeks ago I filled the canister of a miracle grow sprayer with the G. juice and it worked good. It never clogged, but I'm not sure what ratio to water it was coming out. None the less, I used it all up till the canister was clear. Can some one please chime in on how they spray G. juice as a foliar spray, please for us?

My sprayer is a simple canister type with a pump -- no water attachment, and maybe that's the problem. Maybe I need the other kind?

I know there are lots of you out there using this stuff -- what's the secret? C'mon, you can tell us.

I've never had any success spraying home made compost tea. You might try filtering three times. The compost tea that goes into Garrett Juice is filtered through a sand bed that is several inches thick.

Thanks. I actually use liquid from old coffee grounds, which I keep in my kitchen. I heard Howard say recently that this was a good substitute for compost tea. About the only solid thing in the stuff I mix up would be a few coffee grounds here and there, and I've learned to strain all of those out.

I'd buy it ready-made, but it's not to be had around here and shipping liquids is really expensive.

why not use a hose ended sprayer?

If you have 5 gallons to spray, a hose end sprayer takes forever.

This may look like spam but you asked, Tractor supply has a 3 gallon backpack sprayer that woks great. It is a trombone type and 3 gal is a little heavy but you dont have to fill it full. I mix one part G.J. to 3 parts water ,a little strong but works well.

I'm assuming the issue is with home-made Garrett Juice? The store-bought bottled concentrate never gives my sprayer trouble.

Yep, it's the home made variety. Buying the concentrate is pricey for me, especially when you add in shipping.

I gave up on spraying it, just use it as a soil drench. Can't have everything!
