Sprayer for nematodes and compost tea

16 years ago

I need to buy a backpack sprayer that I will only use for nematodes and for compost tea. But I know there are are sprayers that are not good for those purposes because the angle of the nozzle kills the little buggers on the way out (or something like that). Has anybody found a sprayer they particularly like???

Here is a link to some recommended sprayers for organic fertilizers. I havent heard of any sprayers that harms nematodes. Where did you get that info?

Keep in mind that if your soil does not conatin sufficient levels of organic matter to support the life of the nematodes and bacteria in the compost tea is makes little difference which sprayer you use. I've not heard that any type of sprayer is bad for this type of material.
If your soil has sufficient levels of organic matter then spraying these things will not be necessary.
