Anyone here have any experience fertilizing through a drip system? I am using a DIG system with their #12 filter/ferilizer applicator on short(50-60 foot) runs with 10 - 12 emitters watering rows of various, young (gallon-size)shrubs (Viburnums, Rose of Sharon, Mock Orange). They say it will accommodate up to 4 spoons of any water-soluble granular fertilizer and to see the fertilizer pkg for application amounts. Not much information. I would like to use Miracle-Gro and their package knows nothing. Neither website offers any specifics. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

rf, I'm concerned that you perhaps posted this important question in the wrong forum? I don't know enough about the entire site to be sure, but I'm thinking it should be in a more topic-specific forum for you where you're sure to get lots of useful replies.
I'll ask a hostess about it for you.

Try a Google search for the word "FERTIGATION", it is a method of applying fertilizer using the drip irrigation system as you have aptly described in your post.

I use soaker hose and a Miracle-Gro waterer-feeder. It seems to work just fine.
