Dealing with weeds can be a daunting task. Therefore, you need a good garden sprayer. There are different models of this device and functions may vary. Before spending money on a sprayer, you should first determine which type will provide the best care for your plants. Garden sprayer tank capacities typically range from 8 ounces to 5 gallons, taking into account the anticipated job for which you want to use the sprayer and the size of your garden.
If you choose the lower capacity one, you will have to refill the tank several times to complete a spray cycle. A sprayer with sufficient capacity will save time. Sprayers must be fairly portable as you have to move them through your garden. If you have a large garden, consider a wheeled model. For rough terrain, a backpack model will serve you better. It is also important to consider the actual size of the sprayer, especially backpack models. Bulky sprayers are bulky and difficult to use.
You should clean the sprayer every time you use it, as dirt can damage the pump or clog the nozzle of the unit. Filling the empty tank with soapy water will help clean the tank, hoses and nozzles. You can then rinse with clean water. Sometimes your sprayer gets clogged, and unclogging it requires you to take it apart for a thorough cleaning. In this regard, choose a sprayer with a filter to prevent debris from getting into the nozzle and getting stuck. Also, you should choose one that can be quickly taken apart and put back together.
Sprayers can be used to spray different substances such as fungicides, insecticides and fertilizers. To ensure your equipment is effective, check the adjustability of the nozzle. With adjustable nozzles, you will be able to spray entire plants, or specific parts with ease, with high precision and no waste.
