Okay, so, I’ve been meaning to share my experience with this EZ Flow fertilizer injector thing for a while now. Let me tell you, it’s been quite a journey figuring this thing out.
It all started when I realized my plants were not looking their best. I mean, I was watering them regularly, but they just seemed… lackluster. A friend of mine suggested I look into some sort of fertilizer system. That’s when I stumbled upon the EZ Flow. Sounded simple enough, right? Wrong!
First off, I ordered the 2.5-gallon model. I went with that one cause my garden isn’t huge. It’s also for on/off pressure systems. I think it was simple to set up.
When it arrived, I was all excited to get it set up. The instructions seemed straightforward. Connect it to the hose, fill it with fertilizer, and let it do its thing. It has some push connect fittings to connect the tubes. It also has a dip tube and an agitation tube. I attached the dip tube with a screen to the Fertilizer-Out connection and the agitation tube to the Water-In connection. I managed to get it hooked up to my hose bib without too much trouble. But that’s where the simplicity ended.
The first time I tried to use it, I couldn’t figure out how to adjust the settings. The instructions were not very clear on this point. I fiddled around with the adjustment knob. Then I tried connecting it to my drip system. That was a challenge! I had to do some research online and watch a few videos, then I finally got it to work. Phew.
Once I got the hang of it, it was pretty cool to watch the fertilizer mix with the water. It’s like a little science experiment in my backyard. However, it did take some trial and error to get the fertilizer concentration right. I started with the recommended setting, but my plants still weren’t thriving. I ended up increasing the concentration a bit, and that seemed to do the trick.
- First attempt: Plants still looked sad.
- Second attempt: Upped the fertilizer dose.
- Third attempt: Bingo! Plants are now happy and thriving.
It’s been a few weeks now, and I have to say, my plants have never looked better. They’re greener, fuller, and just all-around happier. I guess the EZ Flow does work, once you figure out its quirks. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention – cleaning the thing is a bit of a pain. You have to make sure you flush it out thoroughly after each use, or else it can get clogged. I learned that the hard way.
So, yeah, that’s my EZ Flow story. It wasn’t exactly “EZ,” but it was definitely a learning experience. Would I recommend it? Maybe. If you’re patient and willing to put in a bit of effort, it can be a great tool for your garden. Just be prepared for a bit of a learning curve!
