My mid summer spraying regiment is simple. We try to reduce stress by limiting how much we are spraying, when we are spraying, and by sometimes not spraying at all. But if we have to, this video discusses my top sprays for pests, and disease like powdery mildew and blight. Check out our new clothing line! http:www.freshpickedapparel.com

Sorry Luke but sodium bicarbonate is not acidic; in fact its the opposite!
I’m guessing you mean “regimen” not regiment
How about Murphy's oil soap instead of vegetable oil??
Or Castile soap?
You mentioned a tea you use instead of Neem and other harsh sprays. I understood you to say "bee" tea? What is this tea and where can I purchase?
So if you use BT in late summer/anytime to control pests because it eats them from the inside out what do you think it is doing to humans when we eat the plants too?
What product do you use that is BT?
I thought copper spray kills bees etc
I gave up around 5:00
I did all the steps you said with the powdery mildew and the mold spores etc and I traded some of the Dead leaves off close to the vine like I saw in another video and now it looks like my entire Vine is dying it has three pumpkins on it which I hope live but the whole Vine is dead. Any tips on what I can do to revive it or should I just leave it alone
Is this safe for bees
What do you do for Caterpillars?
thank you
I just re-listened and I didn’t hear you mention how often to apply. Once a week? Specifically the baking soda.
Could I use Neem oil instead of the vegetable oil?
I read something today, I think on almanac that said Murphy's oil soap with baking soda in water. Curious if anyones used it for powdery mildew?
Will that spray work right on my fruit
I just sprayed baking soda on my squash with powdery mildew following the proportions you mentioned about a week ago. Got rid of the powdery mildew but now the leaves are turning brown especially the edges. It looks like the leaves were sunburned, although I sprayed the leaves in early evening when the sun was almost down. My mistake, I should have test sprayed first and waited a couple of days before spraying the whole plant. Lesson learned!
I thought baking soda is alkaline. I like the recipe but do you need to compensate for making the soil alkaline after spraying?
Great information, thanks so much!
Regiment is a military unit, regimen is a routine plan. Thanks for great tips.
The baking soda, soap and oil mix worked! BUT I applied it in the early evening so the sun was still too harsh and it burned a lot of the leaves. Make sure, when you apply it, that the sun is completely OFF the plants for the day!
Does anyone happen to know if BT will work on different species of pests or mostly the caterpillar kind?
1 gallon of water, 2 Tablespoons of baking soda, 3 drops of dish soap, 3 Tablespoons of vegetable oil.
Copper sulfate – more effective, organic
Apple cider vinegar: 2 tablespoons in spray bottle of water
Milk: smells,
Neem: only early or late in season
I wonder if Lactic Acid Bacteria or EM1 would work on mildew and other fungus.
Will BT work on vine borers
Can I substitute baking powder for the baking soda??
The science of this man is horrid! Worse still, people actually believe whatever he says because he already haa a level of reputation! This is why many myths, pseudoscience, and bad science never die.
