As Steve says, I like mine like Hovis...fresh every day.
M Power works out at about 10p per litre so it's not
exactly going to affect your bottom line.
Throw 2 litres away a day that's £1 per week 46 weeks
is £46 per year.
Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.

An extension to this same thread
The product that's left if made from Powder ie SPM, I found on more than one occasion
the wand on the sprayer blocks up "aarrrhh" and after clearing blocks up again
at least with the left overs its usually free off bits/lumps and works just fine result!!
On a serious note even when I put powder to water a liter at a time before gently
pouring into sprayer and collecting those bits at the bottom before they go in
I still get the bloody spray wand blocked what do you do to stop it.
without resorting to liquid solutions

I would just chalk it up to experience.  ;)
It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.

Did someone say saving money?

Welcome to my world my friend  8)

Yes, pre-spray left in your sprayer over night is fine. Infact, i've used Enz-all (an enzyme based pre-spray) over night in my van and used it the next day with great results. But this is not common with other enzyme based products.

Paul Mchugh,
you will save yourself a lot of hassle by filtering everything that goes into your sprayers. even if you just pour it in through a towel. There is nothing worse pr more unproffessional looking than messing about with a sprayer. It is also difficult to do a good job if your equipment is not functioning properly. The best way is to buy funnels with filters in them but if they are not handy just pour through a towel or cloth.

Thats a good tip Peter.

Billy Russell always sends me his old tights to use as filters, some times though they have lumpy bits in them. :o

Maybe use a microsplitter and add a seperate booster such as Energiser or Energbrite. Even if thats spent the next day you can just add another scoop.

Buy a funnel with a gauze filter in it or put an old pair of tights / stockings over the funnel.

Leftovers? I spray the moss on the drive. Powerburst works best, followed by solutions HD. The rest of the solutions range don't do a good job as they seem to be good for the environment.  ;D

are you mixing the Mpower too strong Paul?

It really needs to be no stronger than 1:100

Everyday this forum slips further from God.  :'(

Paul

I had a huge improvement in results with M-Power when I started using at 1:120 (the recommended dilution!) as opposed to 80-100:1.
