Re: powdery mildew

 I used Benlate and my leaves are absolutely awesome. I mixed 1 tbs benlate to one tbs concentrated kelp powder then topped it off with a half cup safer brand fish emulsion in a two gallon sprayer. Sprayed weekly and I am sold on that combo it will STOP powdery mildew in its tracks as long as it is caught early enough. I also occasionally would add two tbs of baking soda to the mix. Another thing I ran across was the pumpkins I culled and cracked on purpose held for one month two weeks in direct sunlight turned upside down. Weird huh. The 986 Hester I grew was 676 lbs est when it went down to five cracks in the ribs from a dill ring almost four weeks ago today it tapes out at 746 lbs and is still as healthy as a hoarse. I am pretty sure with the benlate being systemic it has made the difference ... but that is just my two cents...  Take care all..
