I want to thank the person who suggested a milk spray (1 part milk to 9
parts water) for powdery mildew.
The apple I am using it on is very suseptible, and is recvering after a
number of sprays. This particular tree (court pendu plat) is my only tree
that has a PM sensitivity. It had not put on new seasonal growth until a
fes milk sprays had occurred.
I am not organic, but every time I water the lawn the tree gets
hit/rinsed, which requires re-application, and I do not want to spray
dhemical fungicides that often. I try to be careful not to hit the tree
with sprinklers, but we have a backyard BBQ coming up and my wife wants
the lawn green and soft.
Does not appear that you can spray too much milk. I am spraying every 3
days or so, or after the tree is hit by sprinklers.
Sure is nice to spray something that works, that you do not have to be
afraid of.
Thanks,
Tom
