Miracle-Gro LiquaFeed All Purpose Plant Food Starter Kit

Product Information

Why is the fluid level in the bottle not going down when the LiquaFeed® Universal Feeder is on the Feed setting? The Feeder may initially have air trapped in the system, which can impact the initial start-up of the internal feeding mechanism. This typically occurs if you are using a watering device with low flow output, such as a soaker hose, drip irrigation, or a mister. Adding additional feeders in the same line will increase the recommended mix ratio and may cause harm to some plants. We recommend using a splitter to separate each feeder to cover their own feeding area. A2: A bag contains 500g and will feed approx 100 sq.m of garden in 20-30 minutes given good water pressure. With lower pressure it will take longer. The feeder body can rotate 70 degrees to adjust for most hookup conditions. Grab both sides of the feeder, and give it a twist.

Another option to fix the start-up issue is squeeze the Plant Food bottle for five seconds while the feeder is running. Injecting product also helps to activate the system. Once the feeder is activated, it will remain primed for future usage. Leakage directly from green Feed/Water knob: No, recommend calling 1-800-645-8166 to return it for a replacement Universal Feeder.

Flow rate is determined both by how much the spigot is opened and the watering device setting. It is a measure of how much fluid is moving through a specific area over a period of time. Soaker hoses, for example, are a low flow watering device. Does the LiquaFeed® Universal Feeder require different LiquaFeed® refill bottles than the ones used with LiquaFeed® Advance Starter Kit?

If the bottle slumps a bit due to the angle of your spigot, just ensure that it is mostly vertical. Otherwise, you can place the Universal Feeder on the ground attached to a leader hose. Turn the tap fully on and squeeze the trigger to start feeding. Hold the feeder in the upright position and apply the plant feed evenly, thorougly wetting the soil around the roots and the foliage.

Feed by spraying the soil at the base of the plant until soil is saturated. One plant food bottle will last approximately 15 minutes with continuous use. When feeding your lawn, use Miracle-Gro® Water Soluble Lawn Food, which is specially formulated to give you a beautiful, green lawn in just 5 days! Cautions One of the best parts of the Universal Feeder is that it can stay on your spigot all season. Just like any watering device, remove the Feeder when freezing weather is expected (below 32 degrees) and store indoors. No, your plants will not be overfed or burn. Since water is constantly being introduced with the plant food, the mixture will drain down or spread across the soil profile, so plant toxicity is never realized. The Universal Feeder takes the guesswork out of feeding by automatically mixing the right amount of nutrients, so you dont have to worry about over or under feeding your plants. A1: The Feeder is designed to use Miracle-Gro® All Purpose Soluble Plant Food, Miracle-Gro® Azalea, Camellia and Rhododendron Soluble Plant Food and Miracle-Gro® Water Soluble Lawn Food.

Attach LiquaFeed Universal Feeder to spigot, and attach a hose to base of Feeder. Feeder can also be placed on the ground and used in line between two hoses. Input pressure for these was measured at 50 psi. Watering times will vary depending on each individuals water pressure, so these times are meant only for approximation. Water pressure is typically determined by the city or an external pump. It is a measure of how much force is acting on a specific area. Think of it as the water flowing into your home and out of your spigot.A3: We add a food grade water soluble blue dye to indicate when you need to refill the Miracle-Gro® Feeder. A4: We do not recommend that weedkillers be applied using a hose end feeder. Weedkillers must be applied accurately; at the correct dose rate and this would not be possible with these applicators. There is also a risk to other cultivated plant growth in the garden.
