About 65 bucks, from Drip-Works,
Can anyone share their experience with this device before I order one?
Is it a good thing, or will it clog up my entire system the first time I add some powdered kelp into the tank?

I have 2 and they are working great. Just make sure you don't have back pressure on the line or it will not pull the fert. out. good luck

I've used one for years....they are awesome!! Used it for drip lines, soaker hoses, overhead, misting system and all systems are go!!
I use the 3/4 gallon model and the specs are;
Here is a link to the distribution rates. There are 4 settings that deliver the following;
Slow = 1000:1 and uses 750 gallons water 1 = 500:1 and uses 375 gallons water 2 = 250:1 and uses 185 gallons water Fast = 100:1 and uses 75 gallons

I have had some problems with thicker/ incompletely disolving organic fertilizers in EZ flow injectors. I've only ever used the 3 gallon model. I now use it for injecting vinegar into irrigation water for blueberries. I use hoseend sprayers with hose connections on both the in and out sides for fertilizing small areas. MiracleGrow makes a nice one that retails at about $10. just make sure you can connect a hose to both ends. some models only have hose connections on the input side.

Wally, I would dilute the powdered kelp before you put it in the Ez Flo, plus I dont know if it is common knowledge, it wasnt for me, but thanks to my buddy Todd, i found out that an additional part is necessary from Drip works that actually allows the flow to be faster. Before getting this, it would take about a day to apply the contents of a tank. Now it takes about an hr,the part number is IEZIBVH
