I trust my 1 gal pump sprayer more than Miracle-gro sprayer. Are there directions for pre mixing ( granules to water) ?

First follow the Mixing Measurements on the Package, if you mix the Miracle Grow to strong you WILL BURN your Lawn or Plants, I still have a dead spot from 2 years ago. Second use about 1 or 2 cups of Hot water to dissolve the Miracle Grow granules then add cold water for the rest of the solution.

Mix 1 tablespoon per gallon of water and apply according to the label instructions.

I just read the container and it says one tablespoon of miracle grow lawn food mixed with one gallon water. That would cover 25ft. No pre-mixing of granules with water.

I wouldn't recommend it. Prodiamine, straight out of the container, is in granular form. Each granule is about 1 mm in diameter. All the hose end sprayers I know of require dispensing of the product as a liquid. For my application, which is to treat for Annual Bluegrass (Poa Annua) in a Zoysia lawn, I used a 3 gallon backpack tank sprayer. I measured 3/4 Tbsp. Prodiamine and poured it into a quart container. I then added 3 cups water and mixed the two together into a concentrate. I then poured the concentrate into the backpack tank sprayer and added water to make 3 gallons. 3 gallons will treat 750 sq. ft. The amount to use is 1/4 Tbsp. Prodiamine per gallon of water. Each gallon will treat 250 sq. ft. There are 3 tsp. in a Tbsp.

Very easy! The one small brown bottle of Precore to one gallon of water. I suggest a second application (you will probably have some left over) in two weeks! Remember you do not have to saturate with it, light mist seems to work great! Hope this helped! Very good product!

Michael, None that I'm aware of based on personal experience. Now I mostly use a combination of the granules and the liquid form of Pramitol at the same time so if you're finding the granules alone aren't strong enough, start spraying with Pramitol liquid at the same time and you should see enhanced results.

you could mix the precor in a gallon jug then pour that mixture in a spray bottle but I have a gallon sprayer that I got at the local hardware store they are about 20.00 I'm sure it doesn't have to be a high powered professional one

I don't know. My husband had no problems. Was your sprayer clean before using this? If you had something else in there and forgot to clean it out, it might have caused a problem. Did you make sure it was mixed? Also, did you make sure you had the right amount mixed in the sprayer. These are the only suggestions I have. It worked great for us.

Not sure of the mix ratio. On the label. You can use hose end or pump sprayer

I would strongly recommend you contact Graco. Ommissions from operations and maintenance manuals do not help you or your warranty. More than once a substitution as you're suggesting has made it's way into future versions of manuals ... after confirmation by the manufacturer, of course. WD-40 is a fishoil based product. While it might not harm the sprayer, you may have difficulty with contamination afterward. Again ... I'd consult Graco.

This is a highly concentrated solution. You will need to dilute to proper strength before spraying. You will need a good quality sprayer. I bought one for about $15 on Amazon. The plastic sprayers make it easier to mix because they allow you to see how much liquid is in there.

I highly recommend you upgrade both your and sprayer as well áa higher GPM pump. The small 2.2gpm pump that comes with unit requires a speed of no more than 3mph to supply adequate coverage. The wand has lots of angles in the handle which hold water in small pockets and will freeze and crack during the winter

It has to be mixed with water depending on how dirty the target is. Mine was mixed 4 parts water / 1 part Nu-Calgon in a normal 1 gallon yard pump sprayer I had in the garage. It worked for me really well.

2 oz will make 1 gallon of spray for a pump hand sprayer. mix pellets in a bottle, shake well. pour mix in a hand pump sprayer. add water to the 1 gallon mark. when spraying Bahia make 1 sweep over grass with wand set on wide spray. do not soak grass just 1 sweep with wide spray. wait 1 week if grass hasn't started turning brown repeat. the Bahia will pass on.

I found its not very easy, but doable. I vigorously shake the container first (doesn't do much to rid it of the clumps) but I think it distributes the ingredients in the container if needed. Then I measure out the amount to go in water. Since I use a pump sprayer its fairly easy to VIGOROUSLY SHAKE the pump sprayer after adding the 3&1 to the measured out water. Then I pump it to pressure and spray one plant. While moving to the next plant I shake the sprayer again. Since its never clogged the nozzle I think that pretty much works. One thing - after spraying it really does create a not-too-pleasant odor. But the stuff does work on powdery mildew which is the main problem I use it for. I found its not very easy, but doable.

you have to mix it in a pump sprayer according to dilution direction,about one ounce to a gallon water..

Mix it based on the number of gallons your sprayer holds. IE 4 Gallons ---- look at the table. Basically about 6 - 8 ounces. I use a small cup that is the right size every time. There are good directions on the jug.

Formula is Length x Width x dept x 7.48 = gallons The amount of copper sulfate should never go above 2.0 parts per million(ppm) I use a 2 gallon Hudson sprayer and mix 6 ounces(granulated) per gallon for my smaller rather odd shaped rather shallow 1/4 acre farm pond. This has proved to help eliminate most of the green slime type of algae I have a problem every season. I generally give it a second booster treatment mid-season without any danger to the stocked fish I have in the pond. When mixing the product I use a five gallon plastic bucket(product is very corrosive)and always made sure to strain the mixed product when adding it to your sprayer, I use an old piece of a discarded t-shirt, works perfect. Unstrained it will clog your sprayer tip. The spray should not be a real fine spray but adjusted to more of a splatter type setting.

I didn't. I mixed with water and used a 1 or 2 gl. sprayer. to use with a hose you would have to buy a bottle with hose connection and pour it in.
