Follow up on the dusting method of "compost tea" The pumpkin leaves are washed clean by the rain and any watering I did. I noticed robust new growth with larger leaves on the contorted filbert. It really liked the treatment. I am going to try this next spring on some of the more spot prone plants like dogwoods and oriental lilies. There's also a Thundercloud plum tree that got very sick during the cold rainy spring weather. The advantage of the dust is that I can throw it up under and on top of the plant, coating the leaves thoroughly. Good stuff for pumpkins and the whole garden.
