I'm experiencing a particularly difficult powdery mildew. It came up quickly on mature zucchini squash plants. I thinned the plants' leaves and applied 70% neem oil in water solution as directed every 7 days to everything in my garden. Yet, sporatic movement of live spores is still evident on the zucchini, patti-pan, yellow and cushaw squashes as small patches are still appearing after 3 weekly applications. Perhaps "spot" applications of some of your articles treatments will be of benefit to the weekly applications of neem. Thank you for the many alternatives to neem.

After choosing ED ROSENTHALS ZERO TOLERANCE and burning the crap out of my plants, I decided that wasn't going to work for me. I went back to my local grow store and purchased PM WASH. $30 a gallon. The only thing that product washed away was my money and my sanity. The next thing I tried was a product called ACTINOVATE which worked ok but not completely.Then I ordered some GREENCURE on the internet but haven't received it yet. After all that, what I have found to work the best is a home remedy that works for control and prevention. 1 liter water, 1 tsp sesame oil and a few drops of dish soap. I sprayed the plants with my own mix a week ago and haven't seen any sign of a comeback. My garden is in week 7 now and looking good. I love your magazine.

There are a lot of methods on here I didn't know about. I didn't even know neem worked so well against powder mildew. It is definitely better as a preventative for pests and mildew. Its better to catch those things early then try to ward them off later. Great Article Urban Garden.
