Charley,

I wonder if the only reason it settles so quickly is because it is extremely concentrated?? When I add to the reservoir I make sure the the container has a little lower water level than normal, not empty as to hurt wicking though. I just put the fert in undiluted and blast a stream of water, jet setting on the sprayer, to really mix it up. Hopefully when it becomes dilute in the reservoir it stays that way.

Also, I try to keep the reservoir topped off in between fill ups - so hopefully this mixes any settling that may occur......in addition to keeping the water from being stagnate for very long.
