2 EZ-FLO Delivers Solutions About EZ-FLO EZ-FLO is a world leader in automatic fertilizer dispensing systems for commercial, municipal, sports field, golf course, grower and residential applications. Using patented fluid-flow technologies, our equipment precisely delivers non-hazardous, water-soluble or liquid fertilizers, supplements and controls through a hose, inground sprinkler or drip system automatically - effectively delivering a total landscape solution. Having no moving parts, EZ-FLO systems are dependable and reliable, and they install very easily, requiring no maintenance. Fertigation The combination of fertilizing while irrigating (called fertigation) provides plants with essential nutrients through both the plant s leaves as well as roots. Since most of the fertilizer gets directly into the plants, fertilizer run-off is virtually eliminated. EZ-FLO offers a line of natural and organic fertilizers, pest and insect controls, and supplements for customers interested in environmentally sound solutions. In addition, EZ-FLO saves water since all plants develop more efficient and effective root structures when fed this way. The combination of reduced water usage and less fertilizer runoff while using nonhazardous products means that EZ-FLO customers Fertilize Responsibly TM.

4 Environmental Benefits EZ-FLO s patented proportioning systems deliver nutrients in minute amounts that can be within the US EPA s standards for clean drinking water as well as increasingly restrictive state and local standards. By applying nutrients and other beneficial products in small micro-doses these products are applied at low parts per million (ppm) concentrations, guaranteeing up to 100% absorption by the plant material. EZ-FLO s approach benefits the environment in two ways: Water Savings 1. (20% to 50%) Fertilizer Reduction 2. (70% to 90%) Other indirect benefits achieved: Fertilizer runoff virtually eliminated Less herbicides and pesticides needed Exposure to concentrated chemicals reduced Less salt buildup in the soil Water Savings Image courtesy of Washington State Water Consortium Research studies concluded that a 79% increase can be gained in the efficiency of using irrigation water... International Atomic Energy Association, 2002 The function of a plant's roots are to provide the plant with water and nutrition. Increasing the root mass increases the root surface area in the soil which increases the plant s ability to absorb water and nutrients. Water savings result from the development of increased root mass due to micro-dosing. When you use EZ-FLO, you should expect to have water savings of 20-50% if you are watering adequately. Once the root mass has developed sufficiently as shown in the photo below, the ability of the root mass to trap and hold water (and nutrients) in the root zone increases dramatically. EZ-FLO Dry Fertilizer EZ-FLO develops a deeper and broader root system so water and fertilizer can be more efficiently utilized by the plant. Fertilizer Reduction The EZ-FLO micro-dose proportioning system makes nutrients more readily available to the plant every time water is applied. Because the fortified water stream contains small amounts of various fertilizer macronutrients (NPK) and micronutrients, the plant is constantly fed a rich solution of food and minerals that it needs to grow and thrive. Studies have shown that only 10% of uncoated granular fertilizer applied is ultimately absorbed (much of it leaching past the root zone) while EZ-FLO fertigation can achieve between a 90% to 100% absorption rate. In comparison, as little as ½ pound of fertilizer per 1,000 square feet is required as compared to 5 pounds of granular. 1

5 EZ-FLO Solves Problems Fertilizer Runoff into our Waterways Fertilizer runoff causes enormous problems downstream by degrading our waterways, lakes and bays. According to a recent newspaper article, when lawns get more nitrogen than they can absorb, excess nitrogen migrates into the watershed, stimulating algae growth in local ponds and bays that suffocates fish and aquatic life. We all need to do our part to minimize harmful runoff and EZ-FLO will help! Using EZ-FLO to micro-dose fertilizers and supplements practically ensures that fertilizers get into the plant and not into our water sources. Reliance on Pesticides and Herbicides Healthy plants have natural defenses against insect attack. Traditional fertilizing methods follow a feast and famine cycle which weakens the plants natural defenses. Plants that are overfed initially produce rapid top growth but that growth cannot be sustained. This micro-dosing! sets up the plant for starvation where the plant rapidly declines in health. A plant in decline releases chemical secretions that attract insects and disease. A normal treatment is to apply herbicides and pesticides to address short-term problems but these chemicals significantly reduce the soil s fertility leading to weaker and weaker plants. With EZ-FLO you can break the chemical dependency caused by herbicides and pesticides by breaking the feast and famine cycle caused by traditional fertilizing methods. Exposure to Concentrated Chemicals Read the directions on just about any lawn care product and you will see warnings about avoiding skin contact. Exposure to concentrated chemicals is not only bad for your landscape it can be bad to human health as well. Many pesticides and herbicides are even carcinogenic! EZ-FLO recommends non-hazardous products for our systems which many are classified as natural or organic. And these products can deliver the same, if not better, results than chemical concentrates. Salt Buildup in Soils Eliminated through Most granular fertilizers use carrier salts to bind the NPK macro-nutrients into granules. As the granules decompose they release the macronutrients into the soil but the salts remain. Over time, salt buildup increases the ph of the soil and limits nutrient exchange that is vital to plant health. Property owners typically respond to underperforming landscapes by applying even more fertilizer to get the same result. Application of an organic soil conditioner (bio-stimulant), along with fertilizers through an EZ- FLO proportioning system, breaks down these salts and optimizes the plant s ability to absorb valuable nutrients that are now available. 2

6 Commercial Properties When a Quality Image Counts! Companies invest heavily to present a quality image. EZ-FLO supports your quality image by ensuring that the entire landscape is healthy and a cut above the ordinary! By gently feeding the turf, trees, flowers and shrubs, every time you water, EZ-FLO delivers a superior looking landscape. System sizes available for malls, office complexes, hotels, resorts and retail establishments. Quick Payback The financial decision to install EZ-FLO is easy to justify. The small capital investment is typically recovered within the first year of use. Savings to pay for EZ-FLO comes from a combination of reduced water bills, less fertilizer used and a reduction in labor cost from separate manual applications of insect and pest controls or other specialized horticultural products. Please call us if you need assistance in helping to construct your case for return on investment. Reduced Liability and Risk Businesses are looking for ideas to reduce risks for their employees and customers. EZ-FLO can deliver any non-hazardous product in minute amounts that are so low that they can fall within the Federal Government s standards for clean drinking water. By applying the products in micro-doses, nutrients are almost completely absorbed by the plant, virtually eliminating fertilizer runoff and leaching. Because this method improves overall plant health and makes the landscape more disease and pest resistant, EZ-FLO virtually eliminates the need for herbicides and pesticides. 3 EZ-FLO reduces liability by eliminating exposure to toxic chemicals in the landscape. 3

7 The Rose Bowl As one of the world s premier performance stadiums, the Rose Bowl is home to the UCLA Bruins football team and the annual Rose Bowl Game. EZ-FLO was selected for this stadium based on its ability to deliver heavy humate and organic products through the irrigation system. These products delivered consistently through an EZ-FLO proportioning system help ensure that the turf stands up to the quality demanded in one of the best known stadiums in the world. Sports Fields EZ-FLO is an authorized licensee of The Rose Bowl. Rose Bowl is a trademark of the City of Pasadena EZ-FLO Accelerates the Recovery Process Ask any sports field manager what their number one worry is and you ll more than likely hear concerns about getting their field back in shape for the next game. Micro-dosing with an EZ-FLO system delivers nutrients into the damaged turf and helps accelerate the recovery process between games. And because the root system for any field fed through micro-dosing is more dense, turf has many more below ground resources to draw upon in the recovery process. EZ-FLO Minimizes Compaction In addition to delivering fertilizers, there are a number of other products that sports field managers use to reduce soil compaction. Compaction is a problem that plagues many performance fields irrigated through above-ground sprinklers or rotors. Clay crackers and other calcium based supplements help improve soil flocculation which allows the soil to breathe and transmit water more efficiently. Oxygenated soils allow for enhanced root growth and drainage for improved turfgrass durability, leading to superior playing surfaces. Photo courtesy of Rain Rich Sprinklers 4

8 Builders and Developers Efficient Use of Water Industry leading builders and developers are implementing EZ-FLO Systems into homesite and common area landscapes for the environmental benefits. The lack of adequate clean water threatens the building industry s future growth. Up to 70% of the water used by homeowners is used for landscape irrigation. EZ-FLO in combination with other water smart technologies can reduce those water requirements by up to 80%. This can also eliminate fertilizer runoff. Pictured is an EZ-FLO installation for Newhall Land (a Lennar/LNR company) using native plants on a common area slope. Both of these factors can be critical in the permitting and approval of new developments. A Vision of a Chemical Free Community The goal of many developers is to offer communities that follow Green or Sustainable Sites principles. EZ-FLO systems will deliver virtually any type of organic/natural liquid or water soluble product through any type of irrigation system. With our Alliance Partners we offer a variety of proven organic and natural solutions to meet virtually any landscape requirement. These solutions include organic and natural fertilizers as well as Organic Critter Control that repels deer, rabbits, gophers and more without harming them. We also offer other organic and natural products to reduce soil salinity, break up hard, compacted soils, increase water retention and improve soil organic structure. Use of these environmentally friendly products eliminates toxic runoff which contaminates ground waters, rivers and beaches. EZ-FLO can help you meet the requirements of current and future environmental legislation. Enhancing the Look of Your Development From the initial planting, landscapes are nourished through the irrigation system and protected against transplant shock and stress - at the most critical time in their development. EZ-FLO delivers formulations designed to quickly establish a strong root system which is vital to the landscape s survival and healthy development. Landscapes mature more quickly and the growth can be controlled by simply adjusting the system feed rate. The investment in an EZ-FLO System is typically recovered within the first year. 5

9 Residential Micro-Feeding For Outstanding Results! Like having a Full Time Gardener... An EZ-FLO system carefully feeds the entire landscape just like a full time gardener would do, caring for the soil and all the plant life. EZ-FLO feeds gently, in small micro-doses, with each watering, giving the plants a healthier root system that makes them stronger and more drought-tolerant. Young landscapes mature more quickly and a healthy landscape can resist attacks by insects and weeds. Your landscape has a consistent look-no surge growth! Better than traditional fertilizing methods The EZ-FLO system eliminates exposure to harmful chemicals. EZ-FLO recommends only non-hazardous products and the system applies them in trace amounts that can be within increasingly restrictive government guidelines. By applying water soluble or liquid products in small micro-doses every time your irrigation system waters, they are almost fully absorbed by the plant eliminating harmful leaching or fertilizer runoff. Healthier plants mean fewer weeds and less insect activity, dramatically reducing the need for pesticides and herbicides. EZ-FLO is simple and trouble-free Before After 1 Year EZ-FLO eliminates the complexities and expense that have made fertigation an impractical option for residential landscapes. Simply fill the system every 4 to 6 weeks and the rest is automatic. Our systems have no moving parts, no electrical connections and require no programming or ongoing maintenance. EZ-FLO frees up time to enjoy your beautiful landscape. 6

10 Landscape Architects Protect Your Client s Investment When you include EZ-FLO in your irrigation design, you safeguard your client s investment by virtually eliminating transplant shock. The entire irrigated landscape is fed in micro-doses from the moment the irrigation system is activated which increases their root development and overall health. Young landscapes mature 3 to 5 times faster than with conventional fertilization methods so smaller, less expensive plants can be used in the initial planting. Once the landscape matures, you can reduce the feed rate. The systems pay for themselves in a matter of months by reducing water and maintenance costs. Flexible - Durable - Simple Implementation EZ-FLO fits easily into any landscape irrigation design. The simplicity and compact size enable installation in a standard valve box, eliminating expensive, obtrusive enclosures, electrical connections and electronic flow monitoring equipment. Because of its ease of operation, virtually no training is required for implementation. Since there are no moving parts, mechanical or electronic components, the systems will operate for years with little or no maintenance. At Work Around the World Design and Field Support EZ-FLO maintains a full complement of CAD elements that are available on our website or directly from EZ-FLO. Our technical support group is available to answer any question or to provide specific design assistance and product recommendations. The EZ-FLO Authorized Installer Program is available online to provide a convenient method to thoroughly train installation and maintenance personnel. You can t always see EZ-FLO, but we are there. EZ-FLO is being used in almost every type of public and private landscape and nursery application. Our systems are becoming the standard for many municipalities, school districts, developers, builders and growers, for their current impact and for the future. As the world learns to use water more wisely and to practice self sustaining horticultural techniques, EZ-FLO s technology becomes a vital tool in the implementation of these practices. A representative list of users is available on our website. 7

11 EZ-FLO Complements High Efficiency Irrigation High Efficiency Irrigation There has been an explosion of high efficiency (HE) irrigation products hit the market in the last few years. HE products use significantly less water than traditional rotors and spray heads and can be grouped into the following product categories: Matched Precipitation Spray heads (MP Rotator ) Drippers (Netafim, Rain Bird, Salco, Antelco,etc.) MicroSprays (DIG, MaxiJet, Rain Bird,etc.) Subsurface (Netafim and T-Tape drip tape, KISSS Capillary mats, etc.) An advantage that EZ-FLO has in comparison to other fertilizer injectors is the ability to accurately proportion at very low water flow levels typically found with HE systems. EZ-FLO units can proportion at levels less than 10 gallons per hour which is a rate far below other mechanical or electronic injectors! This product feature means that EZ-FLO can be integrated with all four classes of high efficiency irrigation products into one of the most efficient irrigation systems possible. This also means that when customers ask the question How do you fertilize when using high efficiency, low volume irrigation heads? there is a better answer than Spread the fertilizer like you normally do and then water it in. Now you can say, Just install an EZ-FLO system! EZ-FLO + High Efficiency = Even Greater Water Savings High efficiency irrigation products are proven to use less water, but you can save even more water when you combine any of these products with an EZ-FLO nutrient delivery system. EZ-FLO helps save water by stimulating plants to develop thicker, healthier root zones that in turn trap and hold water and nutrients which lessens evaporation loss or percolation down through the root zone. If you are in an area with water shortages or restrictions and you use high efficiency irrigation strategies, remember to add or include EZ-FLO in the irrigation system design to maximize the water savings while still delivering a healthy looking landscape result. Intelligent Fertigation through the Internet EZ-FLO Systems can be controlled automatically, over the internet, by many compatible smart controllers. Independent studies have shown that this combination creates the ultimate water savings - up to 84% - and totally eliminates runoff. The system can be monitored and adjusted from any computer with internet access. Some controllers can adjust automatically to seasonal changes and daily weather conditions.

12 Schools Doing More with Less It s a constant battle - getting the most out of maintenance and capital budgets. If you fertilize your fields and grounds, EZ-FLO can help you win the fight. By making a small capital investment in EZ-FLO you can redeploy ground s personnel time into other high priority activities. For maintenance departments, it s like getting an additional budget allocation. Reduced Operating and Maintenance Costs Time savings of 80% to 90% as compared to applying granular fertilizers. The high coverage capacity and refill ease of EZ-FLO systems enable one employee to fertilize all the playing fields and school grounds in 10 to 15 minutes a month. Non-hazardous insect controls, safe and organic critter controls and a variety of soil amendments can also be applied, with no additional labor. The system is easy to operate and because it has no moving parts, it requires no maintenance. It is typical to see water savings of 20% to 50% and fertilizer usage reductions of 40% to 90%, saving additional money on the district s water bill. With a typical 6 to 12 month payback, you will see reductions in operating costs and years of maintenance free savings. Environmentally Responsible Superior Results - Reduced Liability Athletic fields take a beating! It is difficult to maintain fields using traditional fertilization methods, because they are used so heavily. Often times fields must be taken out of service when using granular fertilizers. Since EZ-FLO delivers non-hazardous nutrients in small micro-doses every time you water, the field can be used directly after fertilizer application. This feeding method allows for immediate nutrient absorption and virtually eliminates children s exposure to dangerous landscape chemicals. Better looking fields and grounds with less risk to children; a win/win proposition for everyone. The EZ-FLO System delivers nutrients in minute amounts that can be within the Federal Government s standards for clean drinking water. By applying the nutrients in small microdoses, nutrients are efficiently absorbed by the landscape, thereby eliminating fertilizer runoff and leaching into the water table. The EZ-FLO application method also improves plant root development which ensures a healthier landscape, thereby reducing the need for toxic herbicides and pesticides. 9

13 Public Spaces The public has an increasing focus on quality of life. As a result we are seeking more recreation fields for soccer, baseball and other sports and pleasurable settings to gather for leisure activities. This high usage demand adds to the maintenance burden by increasing stress to these spaces and limits the time windows maintenance crews can access the area. EZ-FLO dispensers help solve these problems by providing plant nutrition automatically, every time the area is watered. Fertilizer dispensed through an irrigation system builds a stronger, healthier landscape with little attention from maintenance personnel. Stretch Your Budget! Implementing EZ-FLO into your maintenance program frees up time and money that can be reallocated to other areas. With EZ-FLO, fertilization labor is virtually eliminated. One employee can fertilize a 20 acre park in 10 to 15 minutes. Manual applications of insecticides and toxic pest controls can also be eliminated. An EZ-FLO system can dispense all nonhazardous products automatically. The systems are easy to operate and require no maintenance. Water savings typically range from 20% to 50% and fertilizer usage reductions range from 40% to 90%, which can result in substantial budget savings. Superior Results Parks and Municipalities EZ-FLO feeds all landscape plants and turf more effectively than conventional methods. EZ- FLO delivers non-hazardous nutrients in small, micro-doses every time you water. This optimizes nutrient absorption which improves the plant s root mass, making it stronger and better able to utilize available water. Your community can have beautiful spaces that the public will love. Environmentally Responsible - Reduced Liability The EZ-FLO System helps improve the environment while it makes public properties safer. It delivers nutrients in minute amounts that can be within the Federal Government s standards for clean drinking water. This method of delivery virtually eliminates fertilizer runoff and leaching because the nutrients are absorbed by the plant as they are applied. It also virtually eliminates any public exposure to chemicals. Healthier plants are more disease and insect resistant so the need for toxic herbicides and pesticides can be greatly reduced or eliminated. Sections of your properties no longer have to be closed for fertilizing and the space is immediately 10

14 Contractors EZ-FLO improves your bottom line! You have the option of selling the EZ-FLO installation to your client or retaining ownership. Industry leading contractors have learned that they can retain ownership of the equipment and see up to an 80% cost savings go to their bottom line when compared to conventional fertilization practices. It s easy to do and it shows immediate benefits. The results are superior to conventional fertilization methods and EZ-FLO lets you control plant growth, further reducing your operating costs. Your customers benefit too - they can realize a 20% to 50% reduction in their water bills. EZ-FLO equipment installations pay for themselves in a matter of a few months and increases customer satisfaction. Everybody Wins - Your Company - Your Customer - Our Environment EZ-FLO has more solutions! EZ-FLO equipment is durable, dependable and easy to use! Unlike mechanical injectors that require continual maintenance and are complicated to operate, EZ- FLO has no moving parts, requires no maintenance and is easy to use. You simply refill the system every 4 to 6 weeks with fully concentrated landscape care solutions and the EZ-FLO System does the rest. EZ-FLO automatically mixes and proportions fully concentrated products and delivers them at the right rate, so very little training or time is required to keep the system operating flawlessly and your customer satisfied with superior results. Not all fertigation systems are created equal. EZ-FLO s patented micro-dosing fertigation process effectively meters any concentrated or diluted liquid or water soluble product. Other fertigation systems may not effectively meter products so they are limited to non-burning organic products while others require their own diluted liquid products to avoid plugging and equipment damage. Because EZ-FLO is not limited in the products it can deliver, you have more problem solving solutions that you can automatically deliver through the irrigation system. You can solve landscape problems such as poor soil fertility, soil compaction, excessive salt levels, damage from animals, insect infestation, etc. Numerous studies have shown that EZ-FLO s micro-dosing delivery process provides the best horticultural and environmental benefits. 11

15 Homeowner s Associations Enhance your property s curb appeal! The look of your landscape is a major factor in the look of the entire property. EZ-FLO Systems ensure your landscape will always look its best. The constant even feeding of the EZ-FLO System keeps the entire landscape looking its best, all the time. With the EZ-FLO system landscapes are healthier and more disease and insect resistant. EZ- FLO can also eliminate fertilizer runoff that can cause unsightly stains and damage to sidewalks, parking lots and streets. EZ-FLO also delivers organic products that safely repel deer, gophers, moles, voles, geese and more. Keep your property looking its best with EZ-FLO. EZ-FLO Systems save you money! Documented field studies have shown that fertilization costs can be reduced by as much as 80% due to lower fertilizer costs and significant labor savings. The EZ-FLO system enables one employee to fertilize a 20 acre property in as little as 30 minutes a month. Studies have also shown water savings from 20% to 50% due to the superior root systems resulting from EZ-FLO s patented micro-dosing fertigation. With these combined savings, the capital cost of an EZ-FLO system is typically paid back in just a few months. Reduced Liability! Your community s exposure to toxic landscape chemicals can be totally eliminated with an EZ-FLO System. We recommend using only non-hazardous products in our systems and we have the most extensive offering of the best natural and organic landscape solutions in the industry. Applying these products with EZ- FLO s micro-dosing ensures the products are absorbed by the plant, not left exposed on the ground like dry fertilizers which are applied at rates 450 times heavier per application than with EZ-FLO. The need for pesticides and herbicides is also reduced significantly because healthier plants have natural defenses that ward off invading disease or insects. 12

16 Technical Specifications Prior to the development of EZ-FLO s technology, fertigation equipment was complex, expensive and required larger storage tanks to handle diluted products. EZ-FLO s technology changes that by making fertigation simple, inexpensive and inconspicuous. With an EZ-FLO system you simply fill the tank with concentrated products, set the feed dial and the rest is automatic. The following time lapse photos of a clear EZ-FLO system in operation demonstrate how the technology works. EZ-FLO s patented, fluid flow technology creates separation of fertilizer and water which prevents dilution with the unique ability to consistently meter all elements of the fertilizer mix, from start to finish. Because EZ-FLO does the proportional mixing of fully concentrated products in the bottom of the tank there is no need for pre-diluted liquids as compared to other injectors. As a result an EZ-FLO system has the same delivery capacity as other injectors with tanks 2 to 10 times larger.

17 To back yard Coupling Installation Installation The most common EZ-FLO installation is done by gluing an EZ-FLO coupling into the irrigation main line after an approved backflow device. The system is then connected to the coupling using the supplied 1/4 flexible tubing. We recommend placement of the EZ-FLO unit in a standard valve box or under an artificial rock for added safety and security as well as protection from the elements.

The CBV provides the ability to adjust the differential pressure between the water in and fertilizer out connections which is beneficial when using heavy products such as organic supplements or when faster injection rates are required. TM An optional EZ-FLO Saddle Venturi Connection may be used in line sizes 4 and larger where CBV installations are not practical. It is installed by drilling two holes in the irrigation main line and bolting a pipe saddle with a customized EZ-FLO Saddle Venturi Fitting inserted into the line. This connection eliminates cutting the line and installing an EZ-FLO Ball Valve Coupling. These installations should be reviewed by EZ-FLO engineering prior to installation to ensure piping system compatibility, flow dynamics and the proper placement of the connection. 14

18 To back yard Main Line - Standard Capacity Automatically feed all the plant material every time you water. For smaller commercial landscapes, residential landscapes, HOA s, model homes and grower applications. These systems normally install directly in the irrigation system main line after the back flow preventer. One system will feed both sprinkler and drip irrigation zones without requiring any adjustments. Easy to install Easy to use. The system can be installed in minutes. Any liquid or water soluble fertilizer or water-borne supplement can be delivered - no pre-mixing required. EZ-FLO Premium Fertilizers, Organic Supplements and Premium Tested Products have been proven to provide landscape solutions. Simply fill the system every 4 to 6 weeks and it spoon feeds your landscape every time you water. Base refill frequency on desired results.

19 Main Line - High Capacity For larger landscapes, parks, sports fields and grower applications. High Capacity systems bring the economy, simplicity and convenience of EZ-FLO fertigation to larger landscapes or when extra capacity is required. These systems utilize the same easy to use, precision metering technology as standard capacity EZ-FLO systems. High Capacity systems provide significantly greater fertilizer capacity than other injectors because EZ-FLO can use full concentrates. Higher Capacity = Lower Costs The initial installation cost of our High Capacity systems is usually a fraction of the cost of other commercial injectors due to lower equipment costs, no electrical service, large mixing tanks or tank housing structures. Since there are no moving parts in any EZ-FLO system, there are no ongoing maintenance costs. Refilling is a breeze! With the High Capacity Funnel Fill option it takes only minutes to refill a tank with hundreds of pounds of fully concentrated water soluble or liquid products. This means a 20 acre landscape can be serviced in as little as 10 to 15 minutes. The typical labor savings range from 80% to 90% as compared to traditional fertilizing methods. The system can service larger landscapes and applications when filled more frequently. These systems fit in large, commercial valve boxes or can be direct buried under the proper circumstances.

20 Fertilizers Fertilizer Choices You have many choices when you use EZ-FLO to dispense fertilizers. The key for doing it correctly lies in the way we micro-dose which allows you to fertilize every time you water without fear of plant damage. (For a description of micro-dosing, see the Technology section in this catalog.) Refer to the Fertilizer and Supplement Selector chart on the facing page to help you select the right liquid or water soluble products for your specific needs. Macronutrients - NPK Fertilizers are comprised of 3 macronutrients- Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). All fertilizers are rated by the percentage of each of these macronutrients in the total blend. For example a blend has 10% nitrogen, 20% phosphorus and 30% potassium with the rest being inert material or other substances. The higher the combined numbers, the more concentrated the For Best Results, include bio-stimulants in your fertilization program. solution. More highly concentrated solutions, extend the time between refills. Macronutrients generally affect plant development in the following ways: N (Nitrogen) P (Phosphorous) K (Potassium) enhances top growth, yield and greening enhances root development and blooming enhances disease resistance and increases cell wall development Micronutrients - Essential Plants, like people, require a balanced diet. Plants cannot thrive and flourish on NPK alone. Less known to plant health is the crucial part played by micronutrient trace elements such as manganese, copper, zinc, iron, magnesium, calcium, etc. Every plant needs micronutrients and they must be available in a form that is usable by the plant. When looking at fertilizer blends, always make sure that they have micronutrients, as well as NPK, so that you give the plants, in your landscape the right food to allow for maximum health. The difference in Fertilizers How are they blended? What is their nutrient mix? Organic and Natural Derived from organic and natural raw materials such as sea plants and naturally occurring mineral and organic deposits Macronutrients, micronutrients, natural carbon, humic acids, organic building blocks, beneficial microbes and naturally occurring trace minerals Synthetic Derived from chemical components and bound with inorganic salts Macronutrients, micronutrients and other trace elements What are their effects? Provides plant nutrition, builds healthy soil structure, nonpolluting, may take longer to get the desired effect Provides rapid plant nutrition, can cause salt buildup in soil which can damage soil microbes; organic supplements needed to maintain soil health 17

Soil supplements do not provide full fertilizer capability but are used to enhance fertility. 18

22 Organic Bio-Stimulants Soil Fertility Boosters Soil is the plant s stomach. Feed the soil and the soil will feed the plants. Almost everyone agrees that adding organic materials to soil (like compost or humates) greatly improves soil fertility. Organic Bio-Stimulants are products that contain carbon humates and other soil enriching materials. Soils rich in humates greatly improve a plant s ability to uptake nutrients and to establish healthy root structures. Soil Fertility Boosters are an easy way to apply these needed organics to the soil and should be used along with fertilizers to provide the organic balance needed for optimum nutrient utilization. Carbon Based Organic Bio-Stimulants Stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria and fungi for a healthy rhizosphere Converts nutrients in the soil to more readily available forms Promote more effective water penetration, transmission and retention Provide stored energy for plant growth Greatly reduce the need for nitrogen fertilization Use Less Fertilizer Chemical fertilizers shortcut the organic cycle and feed the plants directly without tending to the soil s health. Studies have proven that chemical fertilizers rapidly deplete soil fertility which then requires the use of more and more fertilizer to get the same results. This negative cycle can be reversed by using EZ-FLO to reintroduce humic substances back into the soil through the irrigation system. Use of carbon enhanced soil fertility boosters reduce the need for fertilizers by 50% or more! The following Organic Bio-Stimulants have been tested and shown to provide superior results. These products can be mixed with fertilizers to provide a complete horticultural solution. When mixing with fertilizers, reduce the amount of fertilizer used by 50%.

23 Controls and Supplements EZ Organic Critter Control Calcium Based Supplements Drought Defense ProKill Insect Control This 100% organic formula is an effective way to rid properties of plant eating animals without harming them. Eliminates exposure to the toxic poisons contained in other control methods. Use this product directly on your landscape every time you water for continuous control. Critter Control can be safely mixed with all fertilizers and insect control. An initial barrier application, full strength if you have an existing problem or if not, 1 gallon per 10,000 square feet, is required. The suggested maintenance coverage rate thereafter is 1 pint per 10,000 square feet per month Effectively controls Deer, gophers, voles, moles, rabbits, mice/rats, geese, and others too numerous to mention. Calcium is the second highest element in plant tissue and essential to plant health. Calcium strengthens cell tissue making the plant more disease resistant and better able to endure harsh weather conditions. Calcium also helps to reduces soil salinity which is the leading cause of trapped nutrients. Finally calcium supplements help fracture compacted soils which promotes water penetration and water retention.

These custom connections may involve the use of saddles, taps and welded outlets and will require consultation in order to establish the flow parameters that may be realized. Since each connection is specific to that particular piping system, the flow rates for the EZ-FLO systems connected in this fashion will vary from the published standards. 2008, EZ-FLO Fertilizing Systems Phone (866) Fax (916)

35 Growers & Nurseries Improved Yields with less Fertilizer Agricultural research studies have shown that feeding more often in smaller amounts improves yields by 30% or more while reducing the amount of fertilizer required. EZ-FLO s patented micro-dosing process delivers nutrients in minute amounts every time you water to provide the most effective plant nutrition. Durable EZ-FLO eliminates costly down time and maintenance costs. Because there are no moving parts, mechanical seals, pumps, controllers or electrical components, our systems last for years with little or no maintenance. 5-Year Warranty Easy to Use No Premixing Required - Just fill the tank with a fully concentrated liquid or water soluble products and adjust it to the desired feed rate based on results or based on EC (electrical conductivity) readings for a given fertilizer. Once calibrated, an EZ-FLO system mixes the concentrate automatically to the desired levels, so you don t have to. Accurate Metering without Dilution or Blending Tanks EZ-FLO s patented flow process continually blends all elements of the fertilizer formula creating even consistency throughout the delivery process. Our systems automatically adjust to changes in flow and pressure. Other commercial injectors require blending tanks to ensure that all elements are delivered consistently. Without agitation, these elements typically separate within the solution and are delivered inconsistently, even when they are fully liquified and Fertilizer Out Water In suspended in solution. Blending Action Continual agitation maintains a consistent feed rate from start to finish Economical EZ-FLO can have a lower capital cost as compared to other commercial injection equipment. There is no need for large storage tanks, blending tanks and ancillary equipment housing. The system s ease of operation, elimination of downtime and maintenance, add to daily operating efficiencies and your bottom line. EZ-FLO may also drive down fertilizer costs. Because we can use fully concentrated liquids or water soluble products, cost savings can be achieved by using concentrates to replace more costly pre-diluted products. The compact tank and quick connect design makes it easy to move the system between multiple sites. Our systems fit easily into the back of a Gator type vehicle or on a cart for portability. 32
