I have a professional fogger that I got cheap at an auction and I love
it. It has a powerful blower and flattens the 6-inch blackberry plants
in my greenhouse or outdoors. I have not tried it on pumpkin.
It blows the water, vegetable oil, soap nicely and coats both sides of
the leaves. It is electric therefore has some risk of killing a person
if the ground (green wire) failed. I would like to use it on squash bugs
which are just starting, I found the first batch today and some eggs. I
hope to try soap and oil on them tomorrow in the house by dipping a
leaf. My blower would blow the insects all over the garden.
My greenhouse friend uses a gasoline leaf blower to spray crops and
greenhouse. He devised the spray attachment.
Still no rain, but I am getting some nice female flowers on Welty and
Armstrong 301. I lost all my pepo plants and will use a volunteer jack
oLantern to cross to AG to study inheritance of air tubes in seed.
