Hose-End Sprayer
A bottle that attaches to your garden hose and automatically dilutes concentrate as water flows through. Hose-end sprayers are fast and convenient for large-area applications. The hose pressure does the work, so no pumping is required.
Hose-end sprayers have a container for concentrated product that screws onto a sprayer head connected to your garden hose. As water flows through, it draws concentrate from the bottle and dilutes it at the nozzle. Many brands use a dial to set the dilution ratio.
Advantages: Fast coverage, no pumping, easy to use, covers large areas quickly.
Disadvantages: Less precise than pump sprayers. Dilution rate can vary with water pressure. Not suitable for spot treatments.
Best for: Liquid fertilizers, liquid iron, broadcast post-emergent herbicide applications over large areas.
