Plant wash application

Danny Cronauer · SoftWash Systems Certified

After completing the entire job, truck is backed up and ready to go, I have to use the plant wash to go around the entire property again. Pulling a hose along with me. It sucks and is time consuming. Which raises a few questions,

1. Why can't i just broadcast by hand? Why do the leaves have to absorb if the damage being done is due to the PH imbalance of the soil?

2. Those garden sprayers work terribly, can I mix up a whole bunch in a pump up sprayer. That way I could just run around the home, hitting the plants and not hauling a hose with me?

How much plant wash per 5 gal?

You can also increase the size of the water inlet hole in the ace sprayer to force out more Plant Wash. Use a very small dril bit.

AC what about broadcasting by hand, Doug said that he as done it. I was wondering, after rinsing out a downspout, why not toss some plant wash at the bottom of the downspout for the morning dew?

AC Lockyer · Administrator

You can if you wish. Just really water it in. I dont endorse because employees will really waste the product. Just be careful.

would it help to plant wash the plants before we even spray the roof ....what would give a better level of protection the plant wash or bleach wash

I think I read AC's post that it is redundant to spray before and after. There isn't a problem with spraying before and after, he just doesn't want to see you waisting chemical. For how cheap plant wash is I say go ahead and spray it if it relieves some anxiety.
