Yes - might be easier, I have used them for many years and have achieved
great results BUT now i have a very nasty fungal disease which is new to my
plants and those foliars on their own aren't going to be much help.

I can't do "before and after" readings but I can do readings on that section
of the nursery which received the undiluted tea I've just applied, and
readings from plants in another section which received a very diluted tea
through the fertigation system. Will do it tomorrow and see if there are any
