Segment 1 Joey and Holly talk about what is and how to deal with powdery mildew in your garden

Dealing with powdery mildew
Host specific - just because you find it on one plant species, does not make it a threat to other type plants in your landscape.
Grayish white spots on leaves and even on stems
Water at the right time of day
Look for disease resistant varieties
Dont crowd your plants
Give plants enough sunlight
Avoid over fertlization
Use baking soda - mix one tablespoon of baking soda with a teaspoon of dormant oil and one teaspoon of insecticidal or liquid soap (not detergent) to a gallon of water. Spray on plants every one to two weeks.
Mouthwash and vinegar - 2 tablespoons per gallon of water and spray plants, do not spray new foliage
Milk - naturally occurring compounds in the milk are at work to combat the disease while also boosting the plant’s immune system. One experiment showed good results by applying a weekly dose of one part milk to two parts water.
