Good point Rainman. I actually shoot it across the pond with a 1" hose, necked down from the 2" outlet. This allows me to shoot it a good 80 to 90 feet, with a pretty good pattern. Since this is a new pond constucted last fall, and has a tremendouse amount of clay, I am trying this spray method on the banks to keep the bermuda seed/grass to grow. We have had such a bad drought here in central Texas, any means to get grass growing and hopefully keep that darn clay in the ground verses the pond is a good idea. I am ready to line/spray the banks with gunite if I can't solve this very strong clay problem.
