You know someone would have to live a really, really, really good life to accumulate enough karma to reincarnate as a greenskeeper's Golf Dog. I'm not sure it could get any better than that.

Nice.


Can one of the supers comment.

 Would it just be wetting agent in the tank or is that combined with a chemical to allow that to work better on the leaves?
Let's make GCA grate again!

A wetting agent is a substance that reduces the surface tension of the water.  It increases the waters spreading abilities. 

In simple terms, it expands the water.  Make your water more effective.

Wait, I thought the wetting agent was sitting in the passenger seat.

Hi everyone,

Im the guy responsible for the video, my dog Stevie is a fox red lab bitch named after Stevie Nicks and yes she is the luckiest dog on earth. she rules the links and the members love her!

Wetting agents make water wetter! reducing irrigation or making the most of rainfall in areas irrigation doesn't reach. its has a washing up liquid kind of feel, totally harmless and we mix and spray it with large water volumes in order for it to penetrate the canopy into the soils. Other types of wetting agents smooth off soil particles, letting the water flow through, ideal for wetter areas these are nicknamed strippers as opposed to the stickers I'm spraying here. Peter pretty much hit the nail on the head and didn't babble on as much as me!

I never have the dog on the sprayer when I'm spraying anything harmful.

Tony, this time i sprayed the wetter straight, i only ever use it with chemicals to control worms or kill leather jackets in order to help push the chemical down, also with a fungicide for soil borne diseases
