      Man that's really cool.

      Always wondered why there wasn't more direct application (pesticide & fertilizer ) through irrigation systems

        I wonder if you'd need to have a backflow device installed.

          Just get a gallon jug of garlic/oil/water and set up a valve to inject into your irrigation system. Do it once every two weeks. I wouldn't doubt that is all the "magician" is

            If you are injecting anything into an irrigation system which is connected to a public water system it will require a testable backflow prevention assembly for a health hazard. In most cases this will be a reduced pressure zone assembly (RPZ) which will need to be tested upon installation and at least annually. The only other option would be to separate the irrigation system from the public water system with an Air Gap which would require a storage tank and pump to pressurize the irrigation system.

            If you are connecting it to a private water system (well) I would highly recommend the same precautions.

                I thought you had to have a anti-backflow valve anytime you connected to a public water supply?

                    Backflow valves are already on your sprinkler system.........or at least on the two homes I have put systems on. As a herbicide salesman for 11 years of my career I don't think much of "natural". If it works I may jump on bard. Hopefully Chris1962 jumps in.

                      Looks similar to a system installed by cedarcide located right here in spring if my memory serves me correct.

                        Be nice if it works......and if it had any effect on scorpions and snakes!

                            I thought they have that huge 30 gallon tank on the side of the house and then run hoses around your house. I could be wrong/confused on the concepts. With the sprinklers in the ground that limits what has to be done.
