Richard Gilliland is VP of GreenMarkIrrigation.com a online wholesale distributor of Sprinklers and Fertigator fertilizer systems.
The Fertigator Pro is a fertigation device by Fertigator. Let’s first discuss the idea behind fertigation. Normally, fertilization is done in an artificial and rather dangerous manner. Monthly fertilization results overfeeding as your plants will soak up and use the nutrients in just the first few days after the first monthly treatment. This will overload the soil with chemical release. Usually, landscapers will wait a few weeks before returning with another chemical release, meaning that plants are now subjected to starvation. After the second release, comes another low nutrient period. This peak and valley style irrigation can be stressful to plant life, which will result in poor quality greenery.
The facts show that fertigation is the ideal process, and this is what Fertigator Pro does. Fertigation supplies grass and other plants with small amounts of fertilizer on a regular basis. This improves the quality of surroundings and keeps nutrients flowing. Plants survive by nitrogen and must have it and other nutrients quickly. Pouring down excessive nutrients and then leaving the garden or lawn for weeks at a time is not healthy. Fertigation keeps the nutrients readily available and this in turn causes stronger root growth and better overall health. (Along with other positive benefits we’ll discuss later) This is what Fertigator Pro does, and it’s far less expensive than a slow-release fertilizer.
Fertigator Pro is the upgraded version of the basic Fertigator Mojo Feeder. This system can cover larger areas and more complex operation. This system uses automatic fertilizer injection systems and can attach to practically any in-ground sprinkler system. The “automatic” term comes from the fact that you feed your lawn every time you run the sprinkler. The system was designed with the DIYer in mind, not professional contractors. Therefore, the system is easy to use and to install. While it’s not a “breeze” like the Fertigator Mojo Feeder, it is neither complicated to learn.
Let’s start with the three basic components of Fertigator Pro. First, there’s the controller, then the injector, and then the mounting tee. The Controller device is the brain operation of the system and this part is wired into the sprinkler system controller. It is usually mounted right next to the system. Now, whenever a sprinkler zone activates, the FertiGator reads the signal and then causes the injector to pulse. This results in fertilizer being sent out into that zone.
This system of Fertigator Pro fertigation is the best and most cost-effective way to deliver nutrients to your lawn or garden in a timely manner. It is a far superior system to traditional granular fertilizer, which is usually infrequently administered, and which creates an over-dosage of nitrogen. This overfeeding will cause an unhealthy surge of top growth, but also result in weakened roots. The lawn or garden will eventually slow in overall growth and start to become malnourished during the starvation period. That’s what you call feast or famine! Fertigator Pro is the best way to protect plant life, accelerate growth and keep everything natural.
