.... I have found a great liquid product that is has kelp and some other goodies in it that the dogs seem to find less attractive. I am looking into building a small sprayer that I can tow behind my Wheel Horse. Has anyone ever done this?

I have made sprayers to apply stuff like you are describing...
You will need a high volume pump...
diverting a lot of your pumped liquid back into your slurry tank, that will keep it mixed up... you will have some problems with kelp & moss, run through a sprayer...... but I use to spray that also... I would let it dry then gather it up, it would break up almost into a powder... mix it in my tank, set bypass line to keep tank mixing...
Made my own spray nozzles, using steel pipe caps OR plugs... take a 4 inch angle grinder with a cutoff blade in it.. plunge cut a slot into the cap, the deeper you cut the wider the slot... depending on how many GPM your pump will deliver, bigger pump, deeper slot... I was spraying some thick stuff so I had to make my own spray heads... the finer ones would plug up...
But it's fun to experiment with various spray patterns and you can make sprayheads cheep & easy... :smile:KennyV

You have to look at the soil of the area to determine what the needs will be in fertilizer. The amount of sun and shade that your lawn gets also has a direct influence on the way the grass grows and how green it gets.
