A container for solid fertilizer is provided, the container being inserted into a sprinkler line system. The container provides a screen to hold the fertilizer and permits water to permeate therethrough. The screen and fertilizer are secured within a screen holder having continuous or perforated side walls, depending on the type of solid fertilizer to be used, and a gapped bottom support for the screen. Water from the sprinkler is fed into the container and is pressurized through the screen and dissolves the fertilizer. The rate of solubilization depends on the water flow, the type and solubility of the fertilizer, and the size of the perforations in the screen and gaps in the screen holder.
