milford, CT,

My plants are still in good shape...but...I did spot a few leaves with Powdery Mildew today. Just wondering what others doing at this stage of PM. I have a regular schedule using Daconil, Eagle, and Serenade. I ask this because I think I need to address this differently than just PM maintenance spraying to stop it in it's tracks early. Any input greatly appreciated!!! Mark

Stylett Oil..or any really pure summer oil. Mechanical dustruction of the spores & fruiting bodies first, Conventional fungicide right after.

I use about a cup of milk and a tablespoon of molasses in 2.5 gallons of water and spray 2 or 3 times a week. I also add just a little Miracle Gro or Schulz soulable fertilizer. 23 tablespoons. This time of year I switch to the tomato formula which has a little more potach. Not too much, just enough to keep things growing and healthy.
