The first of two 16 channel OWLs actuating 16 diesel injectors for 2.5cm spray resolution in vegetables. Received a very expensive quote from LCSC for two of the looms, so opted to do it myself with some regrets. #agsky

Supposedly very effective and also a fertiliser - pressure won't be common rail diesel high, just normal spray pressures from what I gather, still!

Seen plenty of agriculture in Alberta and know farmers there - all great and welcoming people. Heard about the tar sands industry too - will collapse within 20 years(?) leaving taxpayers to pick up the tab for clean up.

That's one of the reasons - the farmers driving this want to trial nitric acid I think. Diesel injectors are also much cheaper for so many and have really fast cycling. We'll see how they go though
