can you add your own fertilizer

Yes, I do that all the time. I put Miracle-Grow sometime. Liquid form will do fine too. I also use flower boost + Ross fertilizer for flowering trees. One last note, make sure you dilute it with adequate amount of water. Otherwise, you will burn your plant.

I have used other fertilizer spikes broken up into pieces to fit in the small housing but they seem to take longer to dissolve.

I did break up tree fertilizer spikes (Miracle Grow) and fit the pieces into this feeder. The water pressure broke them down and distributed them. It was more work on my part using a hammer and pounding them into small pieces, but it did work. I didn't try other fertilizer products. I don't know if granules would work as well, they'd be dissolved so quickly it'd be easy to over fertilize. Of course I'm not an expert - I just used the fertilizer I had here when I ran out of the Scott's.

It's my understanding that additional fertilizers are not required, however i do use Seachem Flourish Tablets in my tank along with the CaribSea Eco-Complete

It will work with any liquid fertilizer that is not too viscous. If the fertilizer flows like water it will be sucked up and mixed with the water.

No absolutely not. The instruction specifically say not to add water soluble fertilizer. The reason why is simple, if WS fertilizer is added to the water when the system is taken out of use there will be a small amount of residual water left in the tubing and in the reservoir itself. When this residual water evaporates it will leave tiny microscopic crystals of the fertilizer in both. As times goes by and this process is repeated the build up will slowly get worse eventually clogging the system. Also, any if there are any metallic part that come in contact with the WS fertilizer there is a potential for corrosion as fertilizer chemicals can be very corrosive to some metals.

Yes you can use your own spray nozzle without any problems, we do sell the 75 foot hose by itself as well here http://www.amazon.com/InSassy-Green-Gardener-Expanding-Hose/dp/B00EIWP7LI/ref=sr_1_1?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1395983037&sr=1-1&keywords=B00EIWP7LI .

Actually you should definitely apply the fungus control at the time you fertilize because the fertilizer is the likely cause of the fungus or what promotes the growth of fungus already there. It's probably the nitrogen but whatever it is in fertilizer that promotes fungus growth, the only way to keep this from happening is to time the fungus control at the same time you fertilize.

Absolutely! As the previous post states...use it with confidence; plants easily utilize the additional nutrients and it shows.

You have to add either your own sand or water - no both. Use a funnel to fill it.

Yes. I did mine and they did much better. Just be sure that they get plenty of sunshine where you put them. All palms are tropical and if they don't get the sunshine most of the time no fertilizer will help that much.

I have not used it with fertilizer yet, only salting for the winter...had no problems there....

Usually when you seed you add a starter fertilizer. I doubt that adding milorganite would hurt anything though

I think most people mix with soil, could be used either way. It does not add nutrients, it is to loosen soil and RETAINS WATER.

No, this does not come with fertilizer. You would have to order those separately. Also, a word of warning, if you have hard or rocky soil, you may want to check some other options for watering. This unit does not hold up well in hard soils.

In some states organic compost material gets mixed up with chemical-based fertilizers. It is a shame. Check with the state Dept. of Conservation.

Yes you can mix the nutrients in the same water and then water your plants. Not sure if that's what you were asking for.

I haven't tried, but my guess would be no. This unit has 3 thin oval slots that very effectively release fertilizer.

Yes, amend your soil of any rocks or dried grasses, at this time when ground is level and ready for planting,spread in your fertilizer, I used this product as some of the reviews gave a good result. But, I found that they soil here has a soft clay so this year I stared to use a Compost Fertilizer, Buffaloloam made from buffalo pooh, It's very rick, no smells and dark dark coloring. and everything in this garden looks like a golf course, The green light a fast result, within days,but, seemed to only have a speedy set to a light coloring. With the Buffalo loam compost, it's great for every living thing, except humans..Please feel free to ask any questions .if I have not answered your question. English is my second language and the English has been a challenge all the years. Brenda
