You do need to pay attention to the sprayer you have and how that nozzle is
formatted.

Testing the tea in the sprayer, and then testing tea you collect after
spraying it out is what you need to do to determine what your sprayer (pump, nozzle,
etc) does to the critters in your tea.

Or do leaf organism assays. We are still working on the microscope, and I
have been promised a working model August 1. We'll see, but getting one of
these microscopes would be the inexpensive way to assess your own compost tea.

But for now, you need to sned samples into SFI for before and after tests, or
for the leaf surface test.
