Experience the ease of installation and operation with EZ-Flo. Our no-hassle EZ-Flo tanks are filled with liquid fertilizer or pesticide and connects to an irrigation system without the need for electricity or additional connections. As water swims through the system, it generates a pressure differential that draws the liquid solution from the tank into the irrigation water. The proportioning device ensures that the correct amount of solution is mixed with the water, providing a consistent and controlled application.
Weeds are competitive players you need to bench before it’s too late. Vigorous and fast-growing, they outperform desirable plants for essential resources like water, sunlight, and nutrients. With our lawn treatment products, along with our how-to guides at Sprinkler School, giving weeds the boot is easier and more affordable than ever.

To be safe, it’s recommended to wear protective clothing and keep pets and children away from treated areas until the product has dried.
A general rule of thumb is fertilizing four times a year, mainly every two months during fall, winter, and spring. Fall is an especially important time to fertilize because it helps strengthen roots for winter. If you’re unsure if your plants need more fertilizer, a soil test is the best way to know.

On the other hand, fertilizer supplements provide more targeted benefits that offset specific nutrient deficiencies in your soil or plants. For the healthiest lawn and garden, fertilizer supplements are applied as needed, often based on plant needs or soil test results.
