Re: new biological antidote for powdery mildew

Joanie:

AFAIK, it hasn't been packaged in consumer form at this time.  The 
commercial version comes in pre-measured disposable 'packets' that make up 
100 gallons of spray.  Not very convenient for home use.

Maybe someplace like the BBG can use that much spray at one time, but as for 
the rest of us...

But if anyone knows of a home package version, I'd be interested in it.
