I purchased one of these syphonex devices about a year ago at a local
garden center. It worked great the few times that I tried it. However,
somehow I've misplaced it, but I had fully intended to use it for
fertilizing my garden. I currently carry around a plastic 1 gallon pump
sprayer to which I add a variety of things such as Miracle-Gro, Peter's
Special, Fish Emulsion, Garlic and Pepper juice (did this today!). Thanks
for reminding me how easy the siphonex would be. I could even hook this up
and add fertilizer through my little poly-hose sprinkler system that I've
put down for my siberians and LA's. I now embark on the great siphonex
scavenger hunt in my messy basement.:)
