OK so far my patch is chemical free. We are going all organic this year. I just noticed some PM on my one plant . It just started so the whole palnt is not infected .What can I use that is organic that can get rid of the PM or keep it from spreading.I read sour milk any thoughts on that.Thanks

Regular 2@ Milk from the refrigerator.
Mix 13 oz Milk with 115 oz water to make 1 gallon finished.
Spray UNDER each leaf once a week until harvest.

Works GREAT!

I didn't use any sticker last year & the milk worked fine.

How do you manage to spray UNDER the leaves and hit every spot? Do you need a mister or is it possible with a simple backpack sprayer?
Thanks.

In my 2003 diary is a picture of a Solo backpack sprayer with a double nozzle pack that is adjustable to spray UP from Down. Once attached, the user loosens the locking collar & rotates the wand 180 degrees. Now spraying down results in an upward spray.

The easiest way though is with a mist blower.

Does it have to be 2% or can I use fat free?
