Default Mixing/Applying Chemicals at the Same Time...

I've always sprayed my fertilizer/pesticide/fungicide in separate applications. I usually spread these applications out over the course of several days.

As a result, I'll get caught up with different things (life) and may miss an application. I suspect some people may mix chemicals.

The chemicals I'll typically use are Cleary's 3336, Ortho and Fertilizer. I own plenty of misc. bottles of nonsense, but these three are my standards. I'll put in a squirt of Ivory soap in the Ortho and Cleary's.

During the rainy season, I use the Cleary's--and before a hurricane. I use the Ortho only when I have a problem--and before a hurricane. Fert, of course, year round--so if I could combine with the others, it would save me time. Time is a precious commodity.

Hi Rhonda
Is that your article on sprayers in the newsletter section at the AOS?
