[AG-EQ] The Hortex Spray Mixer

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Jewel.  
I think you might do better to ask something like "how many milliliters in a
cup" or even "in a teaspoon".  I've had great success doing that with
Google, working conversions from British baking to American.  Trying to
figure out milliliters from a whole gallon seems like a lot, if you really
only want a mil or 2.
You can also ask Google to do the conversion for you, like "1 cup = how many
milliliters?" or something like that.

Tracey!  That was very kind of you to go to so much trouble and I do
appreciate it.
I have two hose head sprayers:  one for the good guys and one for their
uninvited and unwelcome 
rellies:  rather akin to a book that I have just read:  "A Private Family
Christmas"  wherein the 
elderly William's entire family and their progeny descended, uninvited and
unwelcome,  upon him for 
Christmas, hoping to rig matters so that  their venerable parent would make
a will in their favour, 
but one of these snakes in the grass brought along their over-indulged
4-year-old son's nannie who 
proved to be an ally for William, who,, Willeam that is, not  the nanny,
ended up by leaving his 
house and fortune to Scratch, his cat!  Isn't it battle-scarred ginger toms
that, usually, inherit 
the manor?  Scratch may have been ginger, I don't know about that:  just a
little detail that the 
author forgot to mention, and he had been a tom for a while, but after some
rather embarrassing 
ministrations from the local veterinary surgeon, he, no longer was, but
despite him possibly, not 
being "a battle-scarred ginger" nor a tom, he would be lord and master after
the shuffling-off of 
his human.  but, be that as it may, and what sort of sense does that make?
search me!  the sprayers 
are labelled so that it will be the weeds who get the come-upence that they,
so richly, deserve and 
the  domesticated plants, the fertiliser!
I hope that I can get setting calibrations specific to the Hortex as, I
think, it said in Google, it 
is made in Australia where the metric system reigns supreme as it does in
New Zealand:  otherwise I 
am going to be having  to work out some pretty complcated arithmeticals.
Our usual dilusion rate is 1ml of chemical to 1cc of water so  I have made a
start by asking Alexa, 
of Amazon Echo fame,  how many millilitres there are in an imperial gallon,
and was told that there 
were, in the region of, 4,500
and I, already, know that 1 imperial gal equals near enough to 4.5 litres,
but arithmetical of this 
nature, though they may be child's play to "the Beast" of Britain's ITB The
Chase, child's play they 
are not for J Blanch, mistress of the Ranch!
