If the organisms have about 20 minutes to get attached to the leaf surfaces,
they stick. If you are applying in a downpour, you might want to apply a
spreader sticker. Lignin in various liquid forms does well. Yucca. Aloe
Vera (be careful of form). Pine sap.

If you are doing a soil drench, don't worry, the organisms hold up on the
organic matter and begin retaining the nutrients you want in your soil.
Leaching losses will be less.
