RE: Powdery Mildew


Kathy,
Cool! You are a master pumpkineer in my opinion. My sister and her husband
have grown grapes for Firestone, Shelton (North Carolina) and Stagland
Vineyards. They tell me grapes love "crappy soil". You must do a lot of work
for the results you get. Cheers!

We use wettable sulphur. We grow in a vineyard and the vineyard owner  
insists on it so as to protect his vines. It works for us.

Good luck!
