Dear Gerrit and All,

I was just wondering if in #3 1:1500 was a typo. Maybe 1:150? 

Second question: I've been using a disscarded plastic spray bottle. I like the 
fine mist but my...... it's hard on the index finger to keep pumping it. 
Should I be using one of those pump up sprayers (steel can with hose and 
wand) (course spray) or something else?
