I love how you put the measurements right on the screen in big letters like you did for the baking soda measurement. I took a screenshot for future reference. So thoughtful of you. Thank you!

I gave up growing things about 5 years ago because my pear trees and other trees grew too tall and gave too much shade. Plus, having a bad back, I just couldn’t make a new garden area. So this year, I had some wire shelving and a neighbor threw out 14X14 ceramic tiles. So I bent the shelving to two “L”s, put the tiles on the inside edges then filled with miracle grow pro mix and some of my garden soil. My two tomato plants have been in the ground for almost two weeks and they look great! It’s 4 feet from my back porch and gets enough sun. Thanks to you, I feel confident in growing! I have more shelving and tile so I think I’ll build another 4X4 garden for other easy grow things. Thank again, so much! Oh, I did notice white spots tonight. I had an oak tree that fell down a couple years ago and used the inside as mulch. I think I caused the mold so I’ll try one of your ideas tomorrow

So I did exactly what you said not to do, leaving the leaves on the ground, just an hour ago. Thank you for the informative video. Going out in the garden and fixing my mistake right away!

I tried the mouthwash/water treatment and it worked great!
Also used it on Japanese beetles!

Much appreciated! Thought I was going to lose our cucumber plants - just when we were seeing a great harvest. Sprayed Neem Oil three days ago, after cutting off the worst leaves, and we now have rejuvenated cucumber plants! Also sprayed it on our pepper plants, tomatoes, and string beans even though they were not showing and disease signs.

I used 1 part milk to 2 parts water and in 24 hours that's a huge improvement! I planted Verbena for the first time and this is the first time I've have the white fuzzy stuff. It works great!

I used the baking soda, cooking oil, dish soap method on a spaghetti squash (which is growing on a trellis due to space). I sprayed the 4 affected leaves and returned an hour later. Not only had it killed those leaves but the portions of other leaves the spray had dripped on. DON'T USE on spaghetti squash plants. I also used the treatment on a dahlia at the same time. It resolved the mildew issue and the plant suffered no ill effect.

After the mildew spread I also tried 40% milk 60% water. No adhesion, just runs right off the squash leaves.

neem is an evergreen tree, you can mix neem oil in soil, it doesnt harm bees. Neem oil is strong, it has to be diluted to be sprayed on leaves. Otherwise also, neem has been used over centuries for various purposes, like neem branches to brush teeth, neem leaves in boiled water to cure skin infection etc. there are many usage of neem - the entire tree is a blessing for mankind.

Spraying the milk and water has helped tremendously for me on my spaghetti squash. But I have been spraying almost daily. I removed the worst leaves and sprayed all of the plant stems and leaves, even the healthy ones. It has not stopped the powdery mildew completely but has definitely given it a fighting chance!

That moment when you see a notification for a California Garden TV video, always a highlight of my day!!! Who else loves his videos?

Hi, neem oil is great, but I didn’t know it works for powdery mildew! Thank you for posting! I use need oil to keep mosquitoes away from human by spray on ourselves and around as well!
I’ve seen that slaked lime will work for powdery mildew, but I haven’t try it yet, I got this mildew on my fig leaves, first I didn’t know what it was, then I realized that’s what I had, so I look in to here of course, and sure enough I was right, then look for what I can do, only thing I had in my house was baking soda, and vinegar, so I used baking soda, then I checked what if neem oil would work, then I saw your post, so I spray that too! Hopefully it’ll be gone by tomorrow! Thank you for the great info always!

Great video! We use the water, baking soda, vegetable oil, and a few drops of dish soap method. We are testing it out on Apple treelings - and it seems to do the trick. We are sticking away from the vinegar as it can acidify the soils after many applications, even though it's low concentration.
