VIDEO: Powdery Mildew Control


References for this can be easily found all over the internet and they all say much the same thing that I have presented in this video. I spoke primarily over vegetables but this remedy is also used on flowers that are susceptible to powdery mildew. In the future I will save my references to place here for my viewers. I must also add that this remedy will arrest the mildew growth. It will not remove the white appearance on the leaves. Leaves are important to feed the plant and give shade to the vines, fruit and roots. If the leaf is already badly damaged it can be removed as it will have lost it’s ability to function anyway. Treat nearby plants that are susceptible as well even if they show no signs yet.

I must apologize that I didn’t flow very well in the presentation. I kept looking up and pausing because, as I stated, we have had a lot of rain lately. Today may have looked sunny but dark clouds were forming and rolling in. I was afraid I couldn’t get the video finished in time. As well, please forgive all the pauses and ah’s and um’s. For the last 3 years I have been in a total immersion situation learning a new language in another country. I find it very frustrating at times because, while I still can’t communicate above a casual level in the new language, I often find myself forgetting English words and mixing up the grammar.

  1. A couple things that have helped me keep interest in longer videos is to use different camera angles, close ups, mids, and wide angle or long shots. If you can keep the different shots uder 10 or 15 seconds it helps greatly as well.

    My camera is not the best, so I use still camera shots for some of the close ups to show details, say to get a shot of the mildew, etc.

    I'm far from a camera or filming expert though. LOL! Plenty of how tos on YouTube about film making. 🙂

    I hope to see more.

  2. No problem! 🙂

    The taste is why I asked, I hate the stuff myself. I'll use it for baking or in cooking recipes, but that's about it. I was just curious if you happened to know. My squash plants are all looking pretty rough now, they've been hit with everything nature has to throw at em.

    Just looking for more ways to use it up. Thanks!

  3. Good tip about using those chemicals on plants being absorbed into your food. LOL about sucking on the gas pump! I didn't see that coming at all but you are right. More of us need to learn these things. Growing my own food has been quite rewarding. And trying to stay as natural as possible in terms of growing is the best option……. Another note: I have almond milk not cow milk. I wonder if my almond milk will help in powdery mildew. I guess I can just go home and try it out.

  4. Yes, lately with Youtube you have to check in your personal messages and Inbox periodically to see comments. Something odd is going on. But thanks for the reply. I never tried the almond milk but I did get neem oil. I have also tried water to baking soda ratio and that works… just not too much baking soda. I like trying the natural methods too.

  5. Good clip. Please be aware there is a method to control powdery mildew that only utilizes light. Some of the largest rose growers in Holland are now using it. As well as literally hundreds of hobby growers.
