Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has used an air-shear type spray machine to apply =
tea to an orchard or vineyard situation. I know we have discussed this topi=
c of spray pressure and coverage before, but as it is probably the most imp=
ortant factor after having a good compost, I thought it should be glossed o=
ver again.

air-shear machines pump relatively low volume, low pressure with high veloc=
ity air thru a centrifugal fan. It is a common unit for fungicide applicati=
ons. I am concerned to the effect of such high air speeds on the organisms.

Any feedback would be good

cheers
Anthony
