Feed the boom with a 1 1/4 inch hose, but of course the outlet hole in the tank will have to be big enough to let it out that fast. The boom might have to be fairly close to the ground to avoid splashing dirt up on the plants. Just a thought! You won't have the expense and bother of a pump this way Jim
