Welcome Jen!
I would just like to add that it's a good idea to put a fairly specific subject in when you ask a question. That way folks on the list can decide right off if it's a topic they're interested in opening and reading about and it makes finding stuff in the archives a bit easier.
Warmly,

It's a terribly late start to the season but I'm still very grateful for the use of the land.
Fingers crossed, please, for approval at the Wednesday night zoning board meeting!

We use a Solo 4 G sprayer. However, the thought of spraying 2 acres with a 4 G sprayer is daunting. Depending on your upper body strength picking up the sprayer when it is completely full may be a challenge. Is an ATV or tractor mounted sprayer out of the question? It would seem likely to me that you'd be refilling that 4 G sprayer a lot. It would be great for smaller areas for spot treatments. Kim NE Texas where we finally have plants & seeds in the ground!

We are organic and want to use the sprayer for compost tea, fish emulsion and BT. I would like it to have a comfortable back straps and a hip belt to help support the weight. Either hand pump or electric (rechargeable battery). Any suggestions? > Thanks > Jen _______________________________________________ Market-farming mailing list Market-farming AT lists.ibiblio.org http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/market-farming Market Farming List Archives may be found here: https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/market-farming/ Unsubscribe from the list here (you will need to login in with your email address and password): http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/options/market-farming
