    Keeping the squash and cucumber of the ground seems to help. A good breathable plastic ground cover under the plants really helps when it rains so they don’t get splashed. Never had much luck with neem, soap or milk. Tends to make the leaves funky. Best just to keep them trim, off the ground and don’t splash the dirt on them when watering. If you want to grow these plants, you will always have mildew. Just fight the good fight😎

    I have looked at a few article on powdery mildew – and thank you for yours – what no one says is how often do you use milk or Neem oil or baking soda – should it be used once a day / twice a day / once a week??????????????? I’m guessing you continue until it is gone, BUT HOW OFTEN???. I just learned about powdery mildew and one plant I treated – seems like I removed most of its leaves for being already infected – was this a big mistake ? These plants I recently treated are sunflowers. Hope you can help – I am subscribing your website

    @ Next level gardening
    Thank you for the tips, I have just come out from taking of milldew leaves from my plants 😢it’s a mess.

    But can you say what is the name of the yellow plant in the video where you show the Bees pollinating, it looks like milkweed but I didn’t know it came in a yellow color.
    If it is, where can I purchase seeds?
    Thanks again for the tips, will be trying the milk application tomorrow.

    What do I do if I have an outbreak in my Topsy turvy tomato and pepper plants because obviously I can’t control the water getting on the leaves. Please tell me that you have an idea about what I can do without having to take them out of the pots because I don’t have that option 😤😩



  5. @JohnSmith-fq7hj on May 18, 2024 at 10:22 am

    Man this year i got alot of rain at a bad time and this crap spread all over the place smh. I get it every year but usually not until the end of the season so i still always get pumpkins before it ruins them.



  6. @lindafogarty3924 on May 18, 2024 at 10:24 am

    Wondering why you didn’t mention “copper” fungicide?



  7. @privatedata665 on May 18, 2024 at 10:25 am

    milk did the trick for me earlier this year



  8. @brandinshaeffer8970 on May 18, 2024 at 10:25 am

    Good video!



  9. @tamikarice9622 on May 18, 2024 at 10:25 am

    A nursery told me I should dig up my rose bushes cause of powdery mildew! 😢 will this work even if this was going on last year?



  10. @ellieelizabeth5627 on May 18, 2024 at 10:29 am

    Interesting. I’m new to all of this. I started a small garden for the first time. The Phlox are the plants with the powdery mildew. I ordered a fungicide from Amazon and sprayed it on today. If that doesn’t work I’ll try the milk or neem oil.



  11. @SISUmom on May 18, 2024 at 10:29 am

    How about treating the soil? I am about ready to do my fall planting and wondering if I need to throw away all of the soil as there is white powdery throughout, even 6" deep.



  12. @luckyl8dybug on May 18, 2024 at 10:33 am

    Thank you



  13. @dikelikenike on May 18, 2024 at 10:35 am

    He talks too much get too the point



  14. @jennyperry6306 on May 18, 2024 at 10:36 am

    Does the milk treatments make it smell bad around that area?



  15. @FRANKINBUTTER on May 18, 2024 at 10:37 am

    Instead of mouthwash, can I use my moonshine? It’s pure ethanol.



  16. @rizzorizzo2311 on May 18, 2024 at 10:39 am

    Dude you got powdery mildew on your chin. That shit is out of controlv



  17. @AmazingAutist on May 18, 2024 at 10:39 am

    I think I’m going to try the vinegar one. I have a question; does the milk solution cause a smell? Because I think it would cause a big stink in the garden that can cause problems if you live in a densely-packed neighborhood



  18. @jimfarrington8278 on May 18, 2024 at 10:40 am

    Does Neem oil affect praying mantises?



  19. @nileshk1455 on May 18, 2024 at 10:40 am

    Gardening is even harder than coding, you never know from where bugs will appear.



  20. @danielgales449 on May 18, 2024 at 10:41 am

    Why would you put them in the trash. So it can go into a garbage truck so the spores can be blown down the road and spread across the county. Dumbest thing I have ever heard. Leave it in your property and quit spreading it to everyone else.



  21. @anthonyrivera726 on May 18, 2024 at 10:41 am

    I started to use white vinegar in my humidifier water and powdery mildew was gone in 24 hrs



  22. @joannajose8446 on May 18, 2024 at 10:43 am

    This infection killed my tomato plants and cucumbers. Thank you for the information, definitely going to try



  23. @pegjones7682 on May 18, 2024 at 10:44 am

    We havd had weird weather,and for the first time my roses are dying from what looks like mould,mainly from the idiginous cherry native to the area. So sad.



  24. @user-gm5mo1qq5u on May 18, 2024 at 10:44 am

    Thanks I will try



  25. @geetatomar2139 on May 18, 2024 at 10:46 am

    Superb…very nice style🎉



  26. @wandaeby6367 on May 18, 2024 at 10:52 am

    I just discovered that neem oil kills butterfly caterpillars. I have raised Monarchs and couldn’t figure out why the caterpillars were unable to finish forming their chrysalis last year. I discovered the spray drifted to the milkweed in my garden and that’s what ended up killing them. So if you care about butterflies neem oil is not the way to go.

    I like the ATARI T-Shirt !!!

    Downey mildew is the real nightmare



  29. @tonialee3649 on May 18, 2024 at 10:54 am

    I use frankencense oil works great



  30. @cmgarcia4904 on May 18, 2024 at 10:55 am

    If there’s no sun is it ok to spray the milk?



  31. @duncanbirnie4158 on May 18, 2024 at 10:56 am

    👍



  32. @JohnSmith-vt5ry on May 18, 2024 at 10:57 am

    Do you recommend spraying vinegar one week, then alternating to baking soda the next, ….



  33. @TK-setophaga on May 18, 2024 at 10:57 am

    Will try Neem Oil. But my beebalm and a viburnum get decimated every year by powdery mildew. The soil is likely full of spore that grows up with the plants.



  34. @judymccallister9725 on May 18, 2024 at 10:58 am

    Hi, Brian – A couple of other questions for you.

    I have 4 Freestone nectarine trees of various varieties (3 white & 1 yellow). They are now mature trees. For the first few years we had great harvests and the nectarines were like sugar in your mouth. Last year we still had quite a few, but the taste just wasn’t there and something is eating the nectarines from the inside out or so it seems. It looks like the nectarines have sap on the outside of them and they have cracked open. When you cut them open it looks like there has been a worm or something similar inside the nectarine. Any ideas and/or suggestions?

    I have a Cape Honeysuckle plant which is planted in one of those 20 gallon "cloth" type containers. Last year it was covered in beautiful, brilliant orange blooms until late fall. This year it started to bloom and as the blooms died I dead headed them so it would keep blooming and it did for awhile. Now there are no blooms at all, not even buds. The ph is 7 and according to Google the Cape Honeysuckle likes its ph between 7-9. The leaves look great, just no blooms. By this time last year it was in full bloom. About 2 weeks ago my husband gave it some type of blue liquid fertilizer he makes up from powder, but I have no idea what it is. He uses it on EVERYTHING.

    Any idea why it stopped blooming? I keep it on the moist side as it seems to like being moist.

    Thanks for your insight and help.

    Trying vinegar



  36. @shainemaine1268 on May 18, 2024 at 11:01 am

    So is this infection inside the actual plant or just on the surface of the leaves? And why is it only affecting my pumpkins?



  37. @MrShawnbfromjersey on May 18, 2024 at 11:02 am

    Neem is not harmful to bees. I buy neem tree honey all the time



  38. @jolus6678 on May 18, 2024 at 11:02 am

    Milk is super effective at stopping powdery mildew. I’ve used it full strength in a sprayer and it completely stops the powdery mildew every time. However in my super humid Florida climate, as the milk breaks down it later on encourages black sooty mold to grow on the leaves. Maybe sulfur could be followed to kill the black sooty mold ?🤷‍♂️



  39. @Rebecca-zr3lu on May 18, 2024 at 11:03 am

    Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏 Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. God bless you. Thank you. ❤❤❤🤍🤍🤍 God thank you for healing us from blight, mildew and mold.

    2x natural green soap – 4x milk – 6x water. Try to avoid hitting or dripping on to the ground.



  41. @tammyscott6362 on May 18, 2024 at 11:05 am

    I have saprophytic fungus throughout my soil. Can I water it with a peroxide and water mixture?



  42. @country4lyfe365 on May 18, 2024 at 11:06 am

    I need help. My beautiful cabbage is starting to head. But I now have yellow spots on the leaves. Around the bigger leaves edges. Anyone???? Help.



  43. @MrTimjwilson on May 18, 2024 at 11:06 am

    Throw leaves in garbage? Might end up with a lot of organic material in the trash eh? There must be a better option. It seems to me that hot composting should destroy powdery mildew spores/structures, especially in the presence of lactobaccilus.



  44. @EE_E38 on May 18, 2024 at 11:06 am

    My peach tree has this now in late August. Should i treat it or will it go away when the leaves fall in the Fall? If i just let the leaves fall, will it come back in the spring?



  45. @feboogi on May 18, 2024 at 11:07 am

    If warm humid climate is the cause then why do clone domes have healthy plants and don’t produce powdery mildew ?



  46. @user-jz4rf2iv4d on May 18, 2024 at 11:08 am

    How about treating the soil? I am about ready to do my fall planting and wondering if I need to throw away all of the soil as there is white powdery throughout, even 6" deep.



  47. @nicholasgerman5376 on May 18, 2024 at 11:08 am

    Used neem as directed and pruned some plant. Came back the next day to another leave covered. And I sprayed the heck out of it…. Should I try another solution?



  48. @jackinthebox507 on May 18, 2024 at 11:08 am

    Looks like u have a hedgehog on your chin 🤣
    My liiacs thank you 😉



  49. @judymccallister9725 on May 18, 2024 at 11:09 am

    I have yet to have Neem Oil do anything for Mildew on my plants no matter when or how I spray it on the plant. Although I think it’s "Downey" Mildew if that makes any difference. Any other suggestions on what to use? I live in Fresno, CA and the zone can be anywhere between 9-10 depending on what your zip code is.

    Also, how do you get rid of Fire Blyth? Neem Oil doesn’t work. I ended up digging up my 2 Bartlett pear trees because I couldn’t get rid of it and then it spread to my Bing Cherry tree which I eventually ended up taking out too.

    I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with the rest of us who try to grow our own vegetables, etc.
