[compost_tea] Re: Ag. sprayers?
Hi Ray,
I don't know if this is applicable to you as I don't know what your
irrigation system is. We covered a 5 acre area by running 2 inch
line reduced to 3/4 stations and elevated common shrub head flat
sprayers with wooden stakes so they sprayed down on the plants.
Shrub heads provide a fine mist and water the soil at the same time.
The time it could be problematic is if you wish to apply different
tea types to your foliage and soil. We pumped directly from the
brewer.
