👏🏾👏🏾. Excellent tips.
Haha my spray bottle collection has also accumulated. -Ricky from Youngstown.
The heat index is in the triple digits here in Alabama. I lost two crookneck squash, one to a vine borer, the other to a puma. Yes we have puma, cougar, mountain lion, what ever you want to call it hunting on our property. It got two of our cats this month. Japenese beetles, pickleworms, army worms, hornworms, and squash bugs are bad this year. For them, I spray with spinosad after sunset when the pollinators are away from the garden. I spray my squash and cucumbers with Immunox every ten days to prevent powdery mildew and rust. Fungi is bad in the southeast with the hot temperatures and humidity. I have it mixed to spray the fruit trees to prevent cedar gall rust, which I do two days before forecasted rain. This is the first year that I've had zero issues with fungi. Normally, my summer squash and cucumbers are heavily infected and coming out by now. I've already harvested more summer squash this year, than prior years, and they are still producing. I'll be starting my falll garden soon, so they will be coming out of the ground in about six weeks.
Maybe I missed it, did you say those products are organic?
A diverse soil biology can take care of a lot of plant diseases and even insect pests.
Completely agree about preventing situations that can lead to problems, mulching, providing air flow helps a lot.
Every year I plant more plants that attract predatory beneficial insects, this year yarrow and bee balm. Aphids can be devastating up here in WI, hopefully I can draw in more predators.
Powdery mildew has been a real pain in my a$$, tried milk, hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, BLAHHHH! even purchased a copper fungicide. Lactic acid bacteria ( LAB) saved the day! already treating my gourds, cucumbers, squash and cucumbers.
Being a gardener who (tries to ) buys nothing, making LAB is fall off the log easy, best thing ever for powdery mildew.
I am sure the products you are talking about are excellent, I just do it my way. Did not mean to make a Frank Sinatra reference, just happened.
Nice video.
Stay Well!!!
Is that stuff safe for pollinators?
Lots of great info in this Kim!
