[compost_tea] Re: New Member In Oklahoma



Ms Dede, Thanks for the info.  Sounds like you're in the ballgame! I 
wouldn't have thot of using a garden sprayer on that many acres. I 
have a 300 gallon water tank on wheels so I should be able to get it 
tooled up for soil drenching and foliar spraying. Dennis
