I have a poor man's version of a sprinkler system. It is all above ground with a series of "Y" connectors and sprinkler hoses.... I'd like a way to hook up a bottle of fertlizer - Miracle Grow - that would then run through the sprinkler hoses .... I found this.... Does anyone have a set up like this OR any other ideas......

I have used the MG little bottle that goes in-line on your watering system.
I believe it will work well. Water a few more minutes after your plastic jar has clear water runung in it. Water will be turquoise when you start.
Best of luck.

I'll look for one of those..... I thought they only came in the hand held/ squirt type.......

Another way to do it is with an inline siphon. I attach it just after the faucet, run the siphon tube into a bucket of water fertilizer mix and turn on the water. No where near as complicated as the injection units you showed and less likely to cause a problem. I do use an injector for drip tubing. Sandy

VS7...the best made inline siphon I've used is called a "hozon". It works great for me but I must admit I've only been using mine for a month or so (greenhouse application).

Here's a link (but I got mine at a local garden center; you could save shipping cost if you find one locally).
