Bob,

Yes, there is better coverage of all surfaces.  And the water pressure
is about 20 pounds. 

I am not sure about microbe survival.  Since I have a microscope now,
I will use it to test how well the microbes survive after going thru
the sprayer.  I will do a test next week and let you know what I find.

process would be better for the microbes.  Larger nozzel at low
pressure, ACT lofted into foliage by air. slight charge takes the mist
to a surface rather than letting it drift away.  Or am I overstating
the advantages?  Bob
