Leaf Blower-Powered Fruit, Vegetable Duster FARM HOME Food 22-2-6 This new leaf blower-powered crop duster provides more uniform broadcast coverage and will treat a larger area than manually operated units, according to distributor Frank G. Ussery, a Georgia fruit and vegetable grower. The "Super Duster" consists of a 5-lb. capacity PVC canister for powders, seeds or granular materials. A vacuum regulator determines application rate as air moves across the top layer of material. The duster, which mounts on virtually any gas or electric-powered leaf vac/blower with an adapter, provides thorough coverage of plants and other surfaces in up to a 50 ft. radius, Ussery says. It'll handle up to 1 acre before refilling, he adds. Sells for $59.95 plus S&H. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Frank G.
