Growing grapes, and I noticed some downy mildew on some of my grapes. maybe
40% of my vines had at least one spot(Steuben and St. Pepin) and nearly all
my entire row of LaCrosse. (Joy of joy, I got some apple trees grafted and
I'm keeping them in a patio as they start, and my Cellini apple tree has a
few circular spots on two of the leaves.)
I was wondering if anyone has ever tried the "magic mildew control tonic"
in Jerry Baker's "Giant Book of Garden Solutions"
4 tbsp of baking soda
2 tbsp of Murphy's Oil Soap
1 gal of warm water
curious to know if it is something that works decently, or if it is pure bunk.
