Saponyn doesn't "reveal" itself when added to the sprayer. Add it to the
brew and it gets exciting!!!!!

Jeff

which soap product are you using in your tea - Saponyn ?
Prior to CT I used Safer's soap as a surfactant (not licensed organic ones
in Canada). Although expensive it worked and a side benefit was no mites
and few leaf hoppers.
This year using CT I had leaf hoppers again.

I am considering increasing the amount of saponyn added directly into the
sprayer. I realize this will need to be countered with a shot of vegetable
oil so that the neighbours don't think I'm washing up my vineyard.
