If you garden, organic or non-organic, you will need to spray. Do you find it fun to have to spray?

Most of the sprayers you buy only work for a couple of seasons. 

On a hot humid summer day, pump pump pump pump --- take a shower, change underwear, more pump pump pump again ----more showers ------ more pump pump pump.

I can't believe  everything in our life is so advanced and we are still gardening with 100 year old technology.

 

So I bought a $17.00 12v pump, and a $5.00 old MacBook rechargeable battery, changed the "plumbing" of a defective sprayer.

Awesome! this simple electric sprayer can get a much better spraying  job done in one fifth the time and without the sweating.

They do sell motorized sprayers, but they are expensive, not reliable, and too big.

I highly recommend making one yourself. Really worth it.  It is not impossible to hookup an electric pump with a battery and a switch.
