Hello all,
Thanks for all the replies about the sprayers. That helped me lots and will=
 save me a bit of money for now - will just use a hand pump 3 gallon spraye=
r for now. So, my questions:

- The plot I will spray is very low in OM so I want to put out some foods (=
humic acid and ? - want to promote fungal). How much would I put out with t=
hat 3 gallon sprayer over 1/5th an acre?

- I'm also guessing that I would just add the extra food right into the spr=
ayer before I apply it?

Thanks!

Kathleen -- There are several solutions for low OM, which is a most basic p=
roblem. More foods is not one of them. You need compost or several seasons =
with cover plants stirred in, methinks. -- Kirk
