Miracle-Gro LiquaFeed All Purpose Plant Food Starter Kit

Product Information

If using the Universal Feeder with a drip irrigation system, we recommend using enough emitters to produce a minimum of 12 gallons per hour outflow. Feed by spraying the soil at the base of the plant until soil is saturated. One plant food bottle will last approximately 15 minutes with continuous use. Adding additional feeders in the same line will increase the recommended mix ratio and may cause harm to some plants. We recommend using a splitter to separate each feeder to cover their own feeding area. Leakage from the slot underneath threaded green nut where the garden hose attaches to the Feeder: If the leakage is a short burst occurring right after pressure is relieved from the garden hose, then yes. If leakage is constant during use, then no, call 1-800-645-8166 to return it for a replacement Universal Feeder.

Water pressure is typically determined by the city or an external pump. It is a measure of how much force is acting on a specific area. Think of it as the water flowing into your home and out of your spigot. The flow rate (fertilizer to water) is 325:1. This will provide the university recommended rate of 1lb of Nitrogen per 1000 sq ft. Attach the feeder to your spigot, and then attach your garden hose. Insert the LiquaFeed® refill bottle into the feeder, making sure that the bottle is vertical. The feeder can also rotate if you need to adjust it to fit your spigot or to place on the ground in-line between two hoses. Turn on the water. Turn the dial to FEED, and begin feeding your plants while you water them. It's like a power drink for your garden. It's that easy! No, your plants will not be overfed or burn. Since water is constantly being introduced with the plant food, the mixture will drain down or spread across the soil profile, so plant toxicity is never realized. The Universal Feeder takes the guesswork out of feeding by automatically mixing the right amount of nutrients, so you dont have to worry about over or under feeding your plants. If the bottle slumps a bit due to the angle of your spigot, just ensure that it is mostly vertical. Otherwise, you can place the Universal Feeder on the ground attached to a leader hose.Feeding is as easy as watering with the Miracle-Gro® LiquaFeed® All Purpose Plant Food Advance™ Starter Kit--just attach a bottle of LiquaFeed® plant food to the LiquaFeed® feeder which easily connects to a garden hose Leakage from threaded green nut connection where the Feeder attaches to the spigot: First try realigning the threading to make sure you have a good connection to the spigot. If the leak does not stop after tightening the nut, call 1-800-645-8166 to get assistance or return it for a replacement Universal Feeder.

Flow rate is determined both by how much the spigot is opened and the watering device setting. It is a measure of how much fluid is moving through a specific area over a period of time. Soaker hoses, for example, are a low flow watering device. The LiquaFeed® Universal Feeder gives you the flexibility to feed using any watering device, whether that is a hand sprayer, sprinkler, or even a soaker hose. It's also a great way to fill your watering cans with pre-measured plant food for your container plants. I left my LiquaFeed® Universal Feeder on the Feed setting for an extended period of time in one area. Will my plants be overfed or harmed? Does the LiquaFeed® Universal Feeder require different LiquaFeed® refill bottles than the ones used with LiquaFeed® Advance Starter Kit?

The Feeder may initially have air trapped in the system, which can impact the initial start-up of the internal feeding mechanism. This typically occurs if you are using a watering device with low flow output, such as a soaker hose, drip irrigation, or a mister. Attach LiquaFeed Universal Feeder to spigot, and attach a hose to base of Feeder. Feeder can also be placed on the ground and used in line between two hoses. Grow high-quality fruits and vegetables in-ground or in containers with the help of Miracle-Gro® LiquaFeed® Tomato, Fruits & Vegetables Plant Food The starter kit comes with one 16-fl. oz. bottle of LiquaFeed® All Purpose Plant Food which can be used to feed all types of in-ground and container flowers, vegetables, trees, shrubs, and houseplants The feeder body can rotate 70 degrees to adjust for most hookup conditions. Grab both sides of the feeder, and give it a twist.
