This guy had similar findings but he didn't find the spray killing aphids

I suspect his spray wasn't killing the aphids on the finer growth plants because he probably didn't put a surfectant in his tea. Regardless, the bacteria in a vermicompost tea will kill bugs. I have personally seen this work.
This faq also claims their tea does the same thing. I'm claiming that fresh vermicompost tea does this because I have personally done it.

Hmm, thanks I'll look into it!
