I would like to take a 5 gallon bucket, mix in my seed weed powder or other fertilizers, and then apply them via a foliar spray. But I want to either pump the water out or pressurize the bucket to force the water out through my inline micro-sprayers that need about 10 to 20 psi to operate. Any ideas? Cheaper is always better for me.

Could just get a plastic hand pump and PVC cement it into the bucket. Have to make sure the lid is sealed though. AleX Noel.

ghopson,

You might want to check out this link to Dripworks. I
use the 3/4 gallon EZ flow injector with my spayers/
misters. Saves me a bunch of time and works great.

Sorry for the long delay in replying to everyone, was out of town for awhile. Thanks for the responses. I am not sure at this point what direction I want to go.

I've seen this product in a couple of places, but most recently here: http://www.veseys.com/store.cfm?product=3257

It seems cheaper than the EZ-flow line. But, I have no experience with it. So, I can't tell you if it is just as good or not.
