Mini Foam Marker Fits Lawn Spreaders

Mini Foam Marker Fits Lawn Spreaders FARM HOME Lawn Mowers (31h,38) 26-2-20 Anyone who's trying to maintain a beautiful green lawn with no weeds knows the frustration of trying to guess just how much to overlap when spraying or fertilizing. Now you can mark each pass with a spreader or sprayer with a mini foam marker, thanks to Richway Industries, Janesville, Iowa. The company began making foam markers for farm sprayers in 1973 and has been making a smaller foam marker for professional turf managers for several years. Their latest marker fits smaller home-owner sized spreaders or sprayers up to 30 in. wide, operated at normal walking speeds of about 3 mph. It has a single 32-oz. tank and a small air pump that's powered by a single D cell battery. Richard Borglum, company president, says no tools are needed to install the marker, which can be set to drop foam on the sides or at the center. He says 3 tsp. of any liquid dishwashing soap added to water in the 32-oz. tank will provide foam for 15 to 20 minutes.
