You can use this in any way you see fit,
in a pour watering can, a pump up sprayer or a hand held sprayer.
(I'll gladly get some photos up here of some various equipment
if you think it will help just drop me a note). You'll just
need to strain it more for finer misting equipment but the
finer you strain the more chance of straining out some good
guy bacteria. Your palnts will just LOVE you for giving them
a foliar spray & or a watering with Worm Tea!! I honestly
think I can personally see a difference later the evening
when I spray & ESPECIALLY the following day(s)!!
 Note
on straining & equipment. My 3 gal. backpack pump
sprayer has a built in strainer which catches mostly nothing
when I pour a brew in it & it sprays with very little
trouble. With same type straining system on a 1 or a 1 1/2
gal. pump up sprayer will have a few clogs happen while spraying.
A hand held quart sized sprayer will choke in a heart beat
& will need much finer straining but be sure to use what's
strained out along with what's in the nylon hose (see below)
as it's still VERY useful!!

But Wait!!!! More good news! You've got a bag/hose full of
castings that are STILL quite useable. Use them as you would
normally, mix in with potting soil or top dress under a layer
of mulch. They still contains LOTS of beneficial nutrients
etc. for your soil/plants!!
Hopefully this has helped you get started
making & using Casting Tea & have seen it's benefits
even in smaller quanities!! If you would like to share some
stories of your results we would love to hear from you!!
