Would this help blight on fruit trees also?
The undersides of the leaves should be sprayed also imo. Good video
Will this work on roses or azaleas??
I've been spraying my plants with epsom/sea salt and fulvic acid lately. I find it keeps the leaves very healthy by just giving it the trace minerals it needs. Fulvic is supposed to help with nutrient uptake into growth tips.
Sadly powdery mildew is not going to go away, it is a systemic disease and the powder is the reproduction phase. You have to treat it with something really nasty. Will try your concoction (CaMag), but hmm
What about the 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil you used to use with the baking soda mix?
I grow brandy wine tomatoes. Guess what no blight. And they still are producing. Michigan zone 5.
Will these work for black spots on fruit trees?
Wonder if the acetic acid in the aspirin is the active ingredient?
Do you think crushed calcium magnesium zinc tablets would be okay?
What caused the powdery mildew????
Have you tried milk or whey spray.
Do these work for fire blight on fruit trees?
I used these two recipes that I found online for what was probably late blight on my tomatoes: 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp vegetable oil, and 1 tsp mild dishsoap for 1 liter of water, and a few drops of iodine mixed in 47/60 low fat milk and water. I alternated between these two, one spraying a week for each, and it worked!
I have black spot on my bean leaves,some a little yellow with it,plants look good and are only about 2 weeks old..is this blight?
Luke could you use Dr. Bonners soap instead of dish soap? The calcium nitrate was the best thing I have heard so far. Thank you so much.
Luke,
Just an FYI. while it may be advantageous, for absorption purposes, to apply foliar treatments @ certain times of day, the belief that water applied to foliage will act as mini magnifying glasses & burn the leaves has been proven to be a myth by numerous university studies.
I don't get more than 2 seasons out of "cheap" sprayers.. and generally they only carry them in big box stores for 2-3 years and cant get replacement parts
Trying to follow the logic here. So if you start with weaker concentration and it's working increase the concentration for next time. If you start with weaker concentration and it's NOT working, increase for next time.
Oh NOW you tell me. Been battling blight and powdery mildew for weeks.
So can you put all 4 items into a single spray?
Would that work for blight on apple trees?
I must say, I'm a pretty new subscriber (within the past year or so)… and every video I have watched since finding your channel, has helped me tremendously. So much helpful information. Thank you. Admirable!!!!
What about neem oil? I used to use baking soda but neem oil seems to help too. Still think baking soda may be stronger
They have the 1/2 gallon pump sprayer at dollar general for $4, and about $6 at Walmart if you can’t/don’t want to carry a whole gallon.
sounds like Its really working for you Luke I well have to try It sometime
