I use the milk spray and it has always worked for me. No smell 😁
"... so we can all secretly hate you.... just kidding.... 😒" had me laughing lol thanks for keeping things informative and light hearted
😁
I have no idea what is up with this year maybe the smoke in the air cooler temps? But I had a million tomatoes and cucumbers, and I had no problems with bugs or mildew. Also, the most green peppers I have ever grown! I sprayed nothing on any of them. Nice not to have any worries about these things that can happen to your plants. Lucky this year and grateful!!
We haven't had rain in 50+ days (which is not normal for us, it's been a horrid drought) and I haven't had powdery mildew problems outside this year. It's also been hellishly hot, so any moisture dries out quickly; I also use drip irrigation on everything. I hope that by typing this I jinx it into raining, even if that means I have to fight the mildew.
Indoors is a different story; even though I bottom water the transplants I have growing under grow lights, I have to be very watchful of this nasty stuff. I wasn't aware of these solutions, most of which I have on hand, but neem oil has worked very well.
Thank you so much for including the leaf in the thumbnail! I have been seeing this for the last couple years on my squash plants and brushing it off because someone told me it was residue from the high chlorine content in the water here!
Man if there was that much chlorine to leave a residue it would probably kill the plants ;)
Sometimes I think I'm not so much gardening as cultivating powdery mildew. My squash and cukes thank you for the great advice!
Short and sweet. Excellent information.
So glad you posted this! I knew it was powdery milder, but didn’t know my kitchen had the safe solutions to zap it! I have several pumpkin vines that came up from last year’s Halloween decor and our compost bin. On a lark, I decided to allow several seedlings to grow, and maybe grow our own decorations this year. Rain from Hurricane Idalia’s outer band leftovers has ignited the powdery milder spores….now to go do some leaf pruning and zap the slightly affected leaves when the sun comes out this morning!
Compost teas with black soldier fly frass added in towards the end of the brew (Frass is added 16 hours in to a 24 hour brew) has kept my plants green so far
Thanks for these remedies. I do have all of these things in my house. I love your videos and your sense of humor.
Thanks again for your great tips to keep the garden thriving.
If commercial mouth wash works, another might be Tee Tree oil which when mixed with water and swooshed around in your mouth and between your teeth works great to kill bacteria dentists are always fear mongering about. Some drops of the oil mixed with dish soap and water would probably work for powdery mildew.
I didn't realize overhead watering was such a contributor. Thanks!
I have a sprinkler thing on a timer because i have multiple large raised beds. It's too late for this year's garden, but next year I'll start watering with a hose.
Love your sense of humor 😊
We have been watering our new sod twice daily but there has been collateral damage. My phlox now have powdery mildew and look sad. Thanks for this helpful info. I’m going to try the milk remedy first. BTW, I really enjoy your channel and have learnt a lot from you.
Thank you!
I was going to add- after you remove leaves from the plant, sanitize the toll you used ( pruners, scissors, knife) and probably you hands before you move yo another plant.
Liked.the home remedies
For those people using Mouthwash or Listerine - need to know what they are using and why. Listerine has eucalyptol, menthol, thymol, and methyl salicylate. OK - layman's words. Someone is growing eucalyptus trees (eucalyptol essential oil) on their property, menthol (regular mint oil, not spearmint or peppermint, and not toxic horse mint essential oil). thymol (garden herb thyme - just like also using oregano, sage, rosemary, thyme essential oils), ... and methyl salicylate (just say ASPIRIN). One can make their own essential oils garden spray from macerating eucalyptus leaves, mint leaves, thyme (et al herb oils) - and household aspirin. I have said this for the longest time. The ancestors knew all this for personal health and healing - but modern medicine hides these facts from the layman. Make your own diluted solution, ... and if you can find any benzoic acid (soda), or borax (boron acid, 20 Mule team), these can also be added to the solution.
In fact, long before you even plant the veg/herb/flower garden, spray and drown the entire soil with puffball mushroom, or this above concoction (minus the alcohol in mouthwash). Let it settle, sink into the soil, kill off the viral soil virus, pathenogens, bacteria, and germs in the topsoil and wood chip mulch. Then plant 2 weeks later (!), your vegs, grape/berry vines, herbs, and flowers. Amazing in how "antiseptic preparation" of the soil leads to no soil blight or powdery mildew coming onto the plants later !!!
Thanks! I get mildew every year on my squash leaves. I've cut so many leaves off I'm surprised they haven't died.
I think I have spores in that particular garden bed ☹️
@@littleredhen2894 If you have spores, then look around for those meadow (small and giant) puffballs. Get the fresh and white version (vs the old and dried puffy ones). Plant puffballs in your surrounding garden edge and let them do their thing. Puffballs are the strongest of antibiotic, anti-fungal, anti-mildew, and anti-mold mushroom there is. It is noted by mycologists (mushroom gurus) and botanists that a puffball fairy ring inside is TOTALLY cleansed of ANYTHING fungal etc. Puffballs are the highest sterilizers for microbioal critters. AND, when they are in the white phsae, they can be harvested and eaten, or cut up into strips (like band aids) or dried and powdered - for their high antibiotic use as a wound band aid or wound powder with honey or olive oil.
@@littleredhen2894 If you have spores (powdery mildew, fungus, etc) in the garden or nearby garden area, then consider going out and finding meadow (small and giant) puffballs. They have highly anti-biotic, anti-mildew, anti-fungal, and anti-mold properties. Mycologists (mushroom gurus) and botanists have found that the interior of a puffball fairy ring is totally sterilized (!) of any microbials. Translocate and plant portions of the puffballs in the garden area, or nearby totally surrounding the garden. Their growth will provide a medicinal property to the surrounding garden and soil, taking down many garden problems.
One can also dry out and powder the puffball, make a solution, and mist your plants (with a natural remedy), and this will take down any powdery mildew on the plants. Also string up, prune and open up the plant's foliage for proper airflow to dry out the infestation and sunlight UV to sterilize the disease/blight/plant virus etc.
At the same time, using fresh white puffballs, one can cut them into band aid strips and use for wound dressing coverage under a gauze wrap - or dry and powder for a wound powder. One can even use as a powder for athlete's foot fungus between the toes (!).
Thanks for the tips! I get that mildew every year.. Maybe I can kill it off this time...
Don’t hate us gardeners who don’t get powdery mildew- a lack of plant diseases is the tiniest little gift I get after battling frigid temps, dry conditions short growing seasons and wildlife! 🤣
😂🤣 OK. You're exempt
Here on my garden in Aurora Colorado is weird. I do not have powder mildew on my plants however on the weeds is craaaazzy, they turn white but is not passed to my peppers tomatoes or any other plant
Very timely vid-many thanks!
This is my first year I've not got powder mildew 😊
Perfect, I needed this for my zinnias. I have green beans covered in something too, doesnt look like mildew but hey, Illl spray them too. Its the time of year. Battling the late season bugs. Thank you!
Yea zinnias are a bad one too
That freakin mold took out a lot of my plants this year. Thanks for the advice
Same! And it took so long to spray the tops and bottoms of all my plants that had this. I just couldn't keep doing it everyday.
@@behindblueyesdoes it have to be done every day?!
@@DebRoo11 It seemed like it would get ahead of me if I didn't
@@behindblueyes ugh... I'd rather drink my milk then 😂
I strain my homemade yogurt to make Greek-style yogurt. I wind up with a lot of clear light green whey. I freeze some to use as the starter for my next batches, and use some diluted to water my tomatoes. But I still tend to have a lot more to use, especially after making subsequent batches of yogurt where I don’t need to freeze more for starter.
Can straight whey be used in place of milk? If so, would the dilation ratio remain the same?
I don't have a problem with powdery mildew. My problem is tomato blight
Do you have any tips on storing the whey/water mixture? Does it have to be refrigerated?
What about orange peels soaked in water and sprayed on leaves? I hear it’s good as a pesticide, don’t know if it’s used for the mildew but maybe someone knows?
Is there anything that can be done to stop it in the compost itself?
Wasn't this channel that gave us specific recipes for a preventative, an outbreak treatment, and a preventative plus foliar feed that included non-coated aspirin? I spray that foliar feed every week.
No I don't use vinegar because I have life threatening allergy to it. No I don't use mouthwash because I am Autistic and I have sensitivities. :)))))))
Milk however works really well. Damn mildew was gone in a couple of days. You have to keep spraying though because mildew will do its darnest to come back. I would be very careful with spraying dish soap. I had some more delicate plants die after being sprayed with dish soap. It dries out delicate leaves A LOT.
Thank you Brian for always sharing great garden advice with us ♥
Don't use dish soap. Use castile soap like Dr Bonners.
Will any kind of milk work?
@@afr82 I used the cheapest one. Dollar Tree sells some of it. I wouldn't use one with fancy additions because it is unknown what they will do to leaves.
@@Autism_Forever Thank u so much!! I'm going to try this tomorrow morning.
@@afr82 I hope that it worked. Losing plants is like losing friends. I wish for yours to stay with you for a long time ♥
Thanks for info. Can you send me video on growing cucumber s. In Florida, added shade cloth and growing well but don't want any more mistakes as didn't do well the first plant.
I just watch your old video from about 3-4 yrs ago, you said Neem oil. Are you not using it now? I have a huge problem with, in central Florida, tired of home remedies that don’t work.
I tried soda + soap and I can say that it works. I started applying in when I saw first sign of powdery mildew so it worked fine. But I'm fighting different problem. I don't know how is it called, but leaves are getting yellow marks. It's deffinitely some kind of mildew but it's not powdery kind. It's same problem every year but so far I didn't find the way to beat it.
Is it cucumber beetle damage?
I have never had luck with baking soda solution on dahlias that have PM it just kills off all the leaves that were sprayed.
Hi, the milk has to be sprayed once a week or everyday ?
I believe he said once a week.
I have a powdery mildew in my squash raised garden bed again this year. I bought a gallon of raw milk (expensive) and applied it liberally with an atomizer. Unfortunately it didn't seem to help much. I hope it works better for others.
Can you add the different compounds to he soil?
I just noticed today my peony leaves are COVERED, and they've never got this before! It hasn't rained here in weeks, I don't get it.
We've been having the same issue. Dry hot and sunny every day for weeks even though we're in the tropics... yet the zucchinis are covered! And our jap and butternut too. Baking soda and dish soap killed one zucchini overnight... trying vinegar now but it doesn't seem to really be helping after about a week and a half.
Oh my pumpkin patch is awful.
Yeah I’m not able to share my secrets 😂
Airflows and watch out for tiny pests
What about Neem Oil?
Uou said milk during the day, but what about the others? Can i use hydrogen peroxide in the daylight? Will that fry the leaves? I avoid daytime applications on tomatoes. Thankd, great video
I didn’t get mildew this year. But no rain either. I usually get a lot. Please do hate me.
I'm not going to say how perfect my garden is, because I don't want to jinx it. 🤣🤣🤣 I did have it on my peas last year at the end of summer. Fingers crossed for this year.
Do u have any vidoes on burrowing varmin? I had an animal burrow in my pots
I do on gophers
@@NextLevelGardening nice I think it was a chipmunk or racoon
I had all new soil n still got tons of powdery mildew
If you are looking to maintain an organic garden I would stay away from mouthwash and only use natural soap.
LABS diluted 1:1000 and foliar sprayed once a week will keep PM away. LABS diluted 1:30 will kill off an active infestation.
Timely. Powdery mildew is coming in force!
