FAQ's
Can I use a Root Quencher® if I don’t have a sprinkler system?
IDI sells the parts to connect the RQ to a hose bib and we even sell hose bib timers, so no, you do not need a sprinkler system.
Can I fertilize using the RQ?
Yes, the RQ is designed for liquid or granular fertilizers as well as pest treatments very effectively.
Can I install the RQ in a drip system?
Yes you can, ideally to a ½ drip line directly into the valve on the RQ. Be careful to balance volume between the RQ and the rest of the system
