A spraying system for the application of fertilizer, insecticides, fungicides, etc. to plants, vegetables, small trees and lawns. The spraying system presents several improvements over the original Lacy Sprayer (see U.S. Pat. No. 5,398,852) inclusive an improved bladder attachment and improved bladder design, and a new pressure-limiting flow restrictor to ensure safe operation, and a spray discharge fitting incorporating a porous filter to protect the bladder from excessive stresses. The spray hose is connected to this assembly. The improved system facilitates a method of use in which the tank containing the spray solution is placed stationery in an area to be sprayed. The operator attaches a long (30'+ or-) small diameter spray hose for remote spraying within a radius permitted by the spray hose. The spraying system avoids the need to pump or to carry a heavy tank while spraying. Moreover, the continuous, higher pressure of the spraying system provides a wide range of operation from a foggy mist to spraying the tops of good size trees, and saves more than half the spray solution normally wasted.

I claim: 1. A liquid spraying system comprising: a tank reservoir having a spray discharge assembly attached thereto for spraying contents of said tank reservoir; a cap assembly for attachment to said tank reservoir, said cap assembly further comprising, a cap body for attachment to said tank reservoir, a handle assembly for attachment to said cap body, said handle assembly including a first aperture for attachment of a water hose and a second aperture for attachment of a relief valve; a body insert for attachment to said cap body, said body insert having an annular flange and an annular groove adjacent to said flange, and a flexible bladder for attachment to said body insert by seating a lip of said bladder over the flange and in the annular groove of said body insert, and a cap body for screw-attachment to said tank reservoir. 2. The liquid spraying system according to claim 1, further comprising a bladder seal O-ring for wrapping a mouth of said bladder thereabout and adapted to be seated in said groove of said body insert against said flange to facilitate attachment of said bladder to said body insert. 3. The liquid spraying system according to claim 1, wherein said spray discharge assembly is positioned at the side of the tank reservoir near the bottom. 4. The liquid spraying system according to claim 3, wherein said spray discharge assembly includes a porous filter. 5. The liquid spraying system according to claim 4, wherein said bladder is tapered at its distal end such that said contents of said tank reservoir are discharged through said spray discharge assembly and said sprayer hose without allowing any part of said bladder to come into contact with said filter and block the flow of said contents through said spray discharge assembly and said sprayer hose. 6. The liquid spraying system according to claim 1, wherein said cap assembly further comprises a cuff ring around said body insert for exerting a clamping force on said bladder seal O-ring and a cuff ring nut threaded onto said body insert tightenable against said cuff ring for clamping said bladder seal O-ring and said bladder in place. 7. The liquid spraying system according to claim 6, wherein said cuff ring comprises an outwardly tapered lower aperture for exerting a downward and inwardly directed clamping force on said bladder seal O-ring and said bladder. 8. The liquid spraying system according to claim 1, wherein said cap assembly further comprises a flow restrictor orifice coupled to one of said lateral apertures of said handle assembly, and a relief valve coupled to another of said lateral apertures of said handle assembly, said flow restrictor orifice and said relief valve combining to protect said tank reservoir from excessive internal pressure. 9. The liquid spraying system according to claim 1, wherein said handle assembly further comprises an upper portion in the form of a grip ring. 10. The liquid spraying system according to claim 1, wherein said lower portion of said handle assembly further comprises an annular flange such that a liquid-tight seal is created when an O-ring seal is inserted between said lower portion of said handle assembly and said cap body. 11. A unitary pressurizing tank closure for a liquid spraying system comprising: a cap body for screw-attachment to a tank reservoir, a handle assembly having a lower portion for attachment to said cap body, and lateral apertures for attachment of a water hose and a relief valve; a body insert for attachment to said cap body, said body insert having an annular flange and groove adjacent said flange, a bladder for attachment to said body insert, and a bladder seal O-ring for wrapping a mouth of said bladder thereabout and adapted to be seated in said groove of said body insert against said flange to facilitate attachment of said bladder to said body insert. 12. The unitary pressurizing tank closure according to claim 11, further comprising a cuff ring around said body insert for exerting a clamping force on said bladder seal O-ring and a cuff ring nut threaded onto said body insert tightenable against said cuff ring for clamping said bladder seal O-ring and said bladder in place. 13. The unitary pressurizing tank closure according to claim 12, wherein said cuff ring comprises an outwardly tapered lower aperture for exerting a downward and inwardly directed clamping force on said bladder seal O-ring and said bladder. 14. The unitary pressurizing tank closure according to claim 11, further comprising a flow restrictor orifice coupled to one of said lateral apertures of said handle assembly, and a relief valve coupled to another of said lateral apertures of said handle assembly, said flow restrictor orifice and said relief valve combining to protect said tank reservoir from excessive internal pressure. 15. The unitary pressurizing tank closure according to claim 11, wherein said handle assembly further comprises an upper portion in the form of a grip ring. 16. The unitary pressurizing tank closure according to claim 11, wherein said lower portion of said handle assembly further comprises an annular flange such that a liquid-tight seal is created when an O-ring seal is inserted between said lower portion of said handle assembly and said cap body.
