Fertilise your garden with a hose and a Venturi Siphon

I use a Venturi Siphon to water my raised beds. This allows me to mix in my liquid fertiliser with the tap water coming out of my hose pipe. This is a video to show you how I do it

I tried using this principle today on a baseball field. I used various fittings from the hardware store… utter failure 😣. Now I know what to do! Thank You for the video!!!

Very helpful, thank you. God bless you and your family

[wandag]

Thank you!! All the other set ups seem so complicated, thanks for the simplicity!

Any ideas how to calculate the volume of fertiliser to put in the bottle when using a Venturi? I have a fertiliser that suggests 15ml in 5ltrs of water, how does this translate to a sprinkler coming from mains water? Thanks for a great video introducing me to the Venturi 👍

If you were to have a hand sprayer at the end essentially stopping the flow would it push water back into the chemical jug?

[gekarekides]

Thanks a lot. Very simple explanation.

Hi i got a question. If got the same but not wat to work. In the side connection with the small suck hose there is a little spring a ball and a plastic flat ring in it. Can you tell me in what seqence this must come in there? Is it first the ball then the spring and then the ring? Or must it be in a different way?? Or did i lose parts??
Thanks in advance from Germany
Friendly regards André

Hi Chillichump, thank you for your reply, how would one set up the system after Venturi device to avoid too much back pressure?a regular garden hose nozzle or gun would be a possible problem?i'm almost ready to order this device and my hoses are 5/8 with 3/4 standard conection to the house bib(Bib flow 9 gpm, wand or gun in hand now is about 6 gpm).should i buy a 1" Venturi, that's also where i'm confused.what's the brand of the one you have?

Wait, them three beds were going to take "ages" to fertilize with a watering

[DouglasDeVries]

Where can I buy such a venturi siphon in South Africa?

[franchosis]

Hey Chillichump, do you ever have problems with a venturi syphon not syphoning for some reason? Do you feel it mixes properly and efficiently? I am looking at adding this in line to my irrigation system right after the booster pump but also before the valve manifold so that I can fertigate my lawn & plant beds through the irrigation system. Would you think that this would be the best/ most efficient delivery system?

[edwardfernandez]

Hi Chillichump, can I use a hose longer than 50' with this device?? (actually my hose is a 5/8 or 3/4 diameter and is 78' long, with a high flow garden hose gun at the end, )will it work? some kind of siphons systems are limited to 50' hose length from after the device to the nozzle or gun.

[elliottdebell]

Do you think this would work if I just want to syphon air into the line like a bubbler to oxygenate the water

[barnabus]

I have the same kit, got it after seeing your video. But it does not 'pull' anything from the bottle (which does have a little air hole) Anywhere I can get info on how to make it work eg shorten the suction pipe, pressure requirements etc?

[USMC-Sniper-]

That would be great for a 55 gallon drum

[prosafety]

I have that same siphon but when I connect it to a sprinkler nothing come out of the siphon. Help please.

[pippo]

hello nice video ... I bought the same thing but it doesn't work. I have a drip implant and it doesn't work. while if I leave it without the implant it goes. because ? thank you very much

[rayellery]

WHERE DO YOU GET THE TELLOW FITTINGS THAT SCREW ONTO THE INJECTOR SO JOIN THE HOSE PIPE

[pypypy]

Does it maintain the same ratio of fertiliser/water irrespectively to water flow rate?

I appreciate the content and really like your accent? Are you South African?
