Duct tape the nozzel of your pump sprayer, at the opening where the hot air bolws out.
example: Tape the nozzel to amelio's cheek with the tip about 4-6" from his lips and ask him about silage or broad forks.

I'd say you could probably cover 2000 sq ft, from 1 spot.

If your patch is bigger toss in a question about his World Record Seedlings.

How good does that work for getting the underside of the leaves? Also, are you concerned about too much airflow and damaging the leaves and/or stems? Right now I hand spray from a 15gal sprayer that's mounted on my ATV (50' hose). However, it's hard not to walk all over the place when spraying. Also the hose gets in the way. If I could stand off to the side and spray using my leaf blower with my spray want attached to it that would be better, if it works.

Oh wow, now that is funny Klancy!

Good tip on using a sprayer with a leaf blower, I will try using that method with my 20 gallon pull behind electric sprayer.

I have the same kind of thing, except my blower has a tube with a spray head from a 2 gallon pump sprayer at the end where the air comes out,,,It's not a stihl blower mister, but it does a pretty good job getting it out to the center of the plant and it is light enough that I can handle it,,,and yes, it does get the under sides of the leaves too.
