Kirk,

I didn't think you were saying it was a bad spreader. Since it's a
good spreader (at least as far as what it does to make coating a
leaf with tea possible), I think it would be wise to confirm that
leaf assays on tea with Yucca spreader don't turn out to have no or
little biology. I have used it as a spreader but have not done the
assays.

However, I have not yet seen anything that indicates to me that
there's a problem. IF there is a specific link or links that you
saw in one of your searches that is leading you to such a
conclusion, it would be helpful to be looking at exactly what you
were looking at that led you to interpret that information as
negative toward Y. schidigera use in tea.

Could you post them?

thanks,

Chris Reid
