Hi All,
I've done a couple of brews now, which I have just been experimenting
with on a new area which will be a vegie patch - about 200 square
metres. I've been putting it out with a watering can so as not to
overpressurize the wee microbes an squash em. This has been
reasonably successful. The soil actually smells like soil now
(presumably Actinomycetes?).
Now I want to spray tea out on an acre I intend to grow strawberries
on commercially but am concerned about spray pressures etc. What kind
of sprayer can I use. What do you use that you would recommend for 1
acre, but with expansion up to 5 acres. I am looking at a Rapidspray
200l tank with 4m boom, 11.3lpm, 300kPa/45psi. It has a 12 volt pump,
not PTO, but has a 3 point linkage so it can hang off the tractor.
Anyone here have experience with these things?
Thanks in advance.
