OK i finally got one I bought a used blower on eBay and bought the mist-blower attachment. Now how do you guys use them?? What flow setting do you use? Which nozzle pattern tip do you use? How much power?? Ive been spraying the plants so far this year but they are finally big enough to hit with the blower.

Best thing you can buy to apply foliars. I use setting three with the engine at idle speed to wet the upper foliage.

If I want to mist the entire plant(beneath the leaves as well), I stand back a ways and up the blower volume to blow the leaves enough to expose the underside.

LB can test it on your plants Wiz !!! get a wind spinner dealyo and let us know what they can take ,,,,,that 1175.5 seems pretty tuff here but I suggest start the experiment at the other end of the patch :-)

and as far as the settings go, mine doesn't seem to really work well at the #'s suggested to me by others,,,try it with plain water till you get the desired amounts figured out
