>>Speaking of organic...is there a book you can recommend on organic
gardening.<<
I really like Rodale's Flower Garden Problem Solver by Jeff & Liz Ball
because you can look up a specific plant and find it's most common problems
and how to deal with them organically. There is also general organic
gardening information in the book. There are a number of other very good
books published by Rodale Press. Do take a look at them.
>> Do you recall the baking soda recipe for mildew,<<
Spray once a week & after rain with:
2-3 tsp baking soda
2-3 tsp horticultural oil (Sun Spray Ultrafine Oil)
1 Gal. water
another version:
1 TBS baking soda
1 TBS cooking oil
1 TBS dishwashing liquid
1 Gallon water
This works on powdery mildew and blackspot.
