Re: [compost_tea] Leaf curl



With a  tea that has the beneficial fungi growing well in it, leaf curl (Taphrina is the fungus causing the disease) is a breeze to shut down

Getting the tea organisms out there now to protect the buds, and new leaves is the right idea.  Also, we see if you have the beneficial pseudomonads in your tea brew you can reduce freezing point so the buds are more resistant to frost damage.  Can't protect against a huge temperature drop, but a couple degrees helps protect alot.  Couple that with a product like Frost Free, that should feed the organisms as well as reducing freezing temperatures, and I think you really have great protection...
