Tom, you have been getting some nice toys lately. The mist blower is something I am wanting. Maybe you and I could go on that show Wifeswap for a week.

Congrats Tom, now you'll find it takes longer to mix the chemicals than it does to spray them ( a real time saver ).Just go easy on it when your close or itll blow the leaves over.

Good ? Boom, could someone describe the uses and benefits of a mist blower? Some of us nu-B's want to know. Benefits other than making you special, that is. LOL Peace Wayne

A mist blower coats the whole plant, but most important, the tops and bottoms of the leaves with ferts, pesticides and fungicides, most pests hide on the the bottom of leaves, powdery mildew, although seen ontop and treated most of the time on the tops of the leaves grows and spreads on the bottom too, where we dont see.
I was told that the leaves absorb more from the bottom (i could be wrong), and it saves you alot of time and money as less ferts, pesticides and fungicides go a long way.
The machine I just got is amazing, I can spray across the patch.....lol and yes, I have to be careful, took out a few leaves when i cranked the power up....lol
