Is this possible ?

We have an accord metering system, with RDS

ATM it meters only grain from the tank through the venturi and to the pipes ,

We would like to add a granular fert system , eg Horsch partner , Claydon , Weaving etc

This would be mounted most likely on the front of tractor . all pretty standard stuff so far.

The question I have is this,

Is it possible to use the fan from new fert tank to blow the fert and metered seed up to the mushroom and beyond . This would make the seed fan defunct .
Will Putting fert through the bottom of the Accord system mess up the air flow .
We already add slug pellets through the side of the venturi

Yes this would work perfectly fine , just connect the pipe from the font hopper to the venturi .
