got a seasol liquid fertilizer hose attachment works ok but could be bettter. does any one have a set up that controls the amount of liquid fertilizer in the flow of a tap water. dispensiong it evenly. if posssible i'll make a stationary rig that gets water pumped through fertilized and sent through another hose to the watering garden and at the same time givivng a constant rate of fertilizer.

I have one of these:

Hozon Siphon Mixer

It works very poorly with fish emulsion . . . which I'd like to be easier to handle. So, I don't use it.

Miracle-gro hose-end sprayer is what I use in the ornamentals.

Unfortunately none of those hose proportioners work well on most organic fertilizers because they are thick and usually contain some solids. It will probably work OK for the Seasol products since they are clear liquids that have been filtered. You still have the corrosive nature of organics to consider. Be sure to rinse well with clear water after each use.
