I have an Ortho Dial n Spray. Of course I lost the booklet that went with it and the Ortho site doesn't have one your can download.

I use the 1 tablespoon per gallon stuff and would like to use it in my hose end sprayer, so obviously I need to know the dilution rate of the fertilizer to put into the sprayer.

Does anyone know the formula or have the booklet for above sprayer?

Thanks!

Just pour your concoction in the sprayer, add water to almost full (maybe give it a shake), and set your dial. The dial does the appropriate dilution after that.

I typically use Miracle Gro in mine. I dump the entire bag in, add water (not much space left after an entire bag is dumped in but you still need a slurry), and set the dial to 1 tsp to 1 tbsp depending on what I am fertilizing. Now the slurry is added at the rate set by the dial per gallon of water.

So it doesnt matter what the dilution rate of the slurry is?

No. The siphon and dial handle the dilution.
