RE: [compost_tea] spreader stickers and leaf coverage
Guess yucca is more of a preader than a
sticker?
Tim
Shane is correct that dormant oils smother leaf surfaces, so
oils are not a good idea, unless they are also fungal foods.
So fish
hydrolysate can be a sticker, but you have to be careful of
concentration. Too much oil, and it smothers. Not enough, and you
don't get much effect.
Molasses can be a good sticker - at the right
concentrations. 5% molasses sticks pretty good, AND it can give you some
good fungal growth. Ah, un-sulfured molasses, without any
preservative. Both sulfur and benzoate are preservatives......
and
they work!
Nu-film is pine sap, whihc must be diluted BEFORE adding to
the tea. I usually get good stick with it. It you don't, check
your dilution......
