good afternoon YouTube getting a garden spray already here and making up some neem oil spray
for the fruit trees getting about time to give them a shot of that helps control the peach leaf
curl and he feeds things like that and I just got done spraying an Epsom salt mix on my lemon tree
so I've been using the backpack sprayer here a couple of times they call that goods yeah I
just basically pulled the backpack sprayer out of my solar garden shed and it's fully charged
ready to go you can see if I flip on the switch the pump comes on pressurizes the wand and we're
ready to go spray the fruit trees here so you got to hit them before the buds come out and
we have a stretch of dry weather because you have to spray it a few days before any rain as
forecast so that's today's project here so yeah i'll show you that out back here yeah
so here's the garden shed so I just pulled the sprayer out of the bottom there pulled
the charging cable out it's been charging all winter on solar panels they're the backpack
sprayer normally sits right down there and then the JumpStart pack is up there on the top with
two batteries in parallel I can take out one or the other and the charge controller is still
connected to the battery that I didn't take out yeah let's go grab the sprayer and we'll see how
it works okay we've got the two cherry trees out front here I figure I'll hit them first
don't get any spray on the camera lens
anyway I'm gonna keep going I got these two trees here I got two more cherries in the backyard yeah
I better get back to it to finish the first round of spraying on the fruit trees still have about a
gallon of the neem oil mix in the sprayer and I'm just gonna leave it in the shed it's plugged into
power so I'll slide it back into position and its back on charge now sheds been working really well
the two fans I have one fan on this side and then one on the other side and they're running
today it's kind of sunny and somewhat warm out and got warm enough in the shed that those tripped on
and they'll probably run for a couple hours today in the winter it just helps clear up the moisture
or humidity that builds up in there as overnight it'll get cold and foggy and gets a little damp
inside the shed with the cold wet air and once it warms up and the fans kick on and suck warm
dry air in and helps keep everything in the shed nice and dry keeps it from rusting so those are
still running the 12-volt PC fans they're still working fine that's the original two fans I put
in there they haven't plugged up I haven't had to clear any bugs out of them yeah I'm really happy
with the way those work they end up using about I think I use somewhere in the one to two kilowatt
hour a month range with the fans and then I still have the light I have light there on the outside
and then I've got lights inside the shed let's go take a look at the inside here yeah so we've
got the 20 amp solar charge controller there and then here's the thermostat for the fan I have it
set to I think it's around 95 Fahrenheit about 35 C and the fans are running over there you can see
that one's running so they both fans are in parallel yeah we've used 0.2 kilowatt hours
this month it's only the first week and in the winter it doesn't run a lot it only runs on days
where it gets warm enough to trigger the fans on but yeah we've used what was that 30 30 kilowatt
hours since I put the solar panels on the shed controller saying it's 37 and the thermostat on
fans is set for 35 C we're doing about 5 watts power both fans and then if I were to turn on
here's the inside light and we're up to 12 watts 1314 watts 14 is the inside light and I turn it
off power drops back to about 5 watts for the fans so yeah everything's working really well
with the garden shed this thing keeps the two batteries charged up and keeps that backpack
sprayer charged up it's ready to go so before I would always come out here to pick up the sprayer
because it would be a good day for spraying it was going to be dry for a few days no wind come
out here to grab it and the battery would be dead so I'd have to plug it in and then wait
a day or two for the battery to charge and then hopefully the weather was still cooperating when
the battery was ready so now it's just ready to go any time you want so the system keeps all the
batteries topped off they're ready to go and then these batteries work the fans and the interior
lighting the solar charge controller needs to have a battery connected so one of these two
batteries either this one or the jumpstart pack is is the connected battery but anyway I thought he'd
give you an update on the solar shed everything's working really well and I think that'll that'll
help them last a lot longer plus they're ready to use when you need them not after a couple of
days of charging I'll put some of the links to the earlier videos over here on the left side and if
you have any other questions post up in comment section below and as always thanks for watching
