» Minnie - Great Information

Thanks Deborah for the great information. I gave away a Tropicana rose bush because I had so much trouble with mildew.

I really appreciate the natural cures for common problems in the garden.

Tanks, Deborah. Very interesting. I have used carb soda on ornamentals but had never experimented with milk. After our wet Winter, I know there will be trouble in the ornamental garden

Well, I've been using a 1:6 on my squash and it's working well. It's also controlling PM on my beebalm.

I will let you know, Deborah, I think it will be as with the roses - I remove affected leaves off some of the Rhododendrons but would like to think that the new leaves will not carry the fungus too

BTW - that was supposed to be thanks, not tanks.
