This year I am adding foods to my CT just before applying such as HA, molasses, Saponyn and Kelp.  Upon advice of Erik Morgan of Terra Vita I am using a pound of SP-85 per acre per application of CT, much more than I added previously. 
Dan - what is SP-85?  What is the benefit of it?
I am adding foods to tea just before topping off sprayer and spraying.  My only concern is if I cause the tea to go anerobic.   Of course I could put the foods on in a separate spray but that is more labor and passes in vineyard. 
Agreed, but could it not be beneficial in some circumstances to have a nutrient based tea (kelp etc)  in quantity, instead of just adding small quantities to the CT tea?   I was thinking that if we are already set up with the spraying equipment, then why not spray the nutrients in quantity in a second pass (or first pass).  

I mentioned this issue before but got no response.  Hope this does better.  What are experiences with adding organism food and what do you use??
