Re: Garden foggers/misters

Barb from Orlando,
   I think you are getting foggers and mist blowers mixed up. A fogger is a
small device usually used in greenhouses. You can close up the house and put
an insecticide in the fogger to kill all the critters in the house. A mist
blower doesn't put out a fog. It is a backpack sprayer with a blower attached.
It is basically a leaf blower with a water tank on it so you can introduce a
small trickle of water into the blast of air. It blows the
insecticide/fungicide/fertilizer or whatever under the leaves. Solo is
probably your best bet for they are a company that has been around
awhile.....you can get parts, etc. George Brooks may know the model number.
You will not find these in Home Depot etc,......I don't think...... you must
go to a greenhose or agricultural wholesaler. Try a local greenhouse or apple
orchard. They should be able to give you the address of a local distributor
for Solo. With all the agriculture in Florida, there has to be a few
distributors locally so you can get away from the shipping and handling. Be
prepared to spend alot of money, but you are buying quality and not a piece of
junk. Should last a lifetime.I bought one used years ago for 250 bucks. I
think the Solo is around 500 or 600 bucks......George correct me if I'm off on
the pricing. If you win the lottery you can buy an electrostatic backpak
sprayer they are only 1,800 bucks....hard to believe you can strap 1,800 bucks
on your back. Actually when you think about it, 1,800 dollars is
cheap......the same price as 18 Mombert seeds! :) :)  :)
