Is fungus and powdery mildew taking over your garden?
Want to keep the garden organic and avoid toxic chemical fungicides?
If I get problems with fungus my first line of defence is a spray of baking soda mixed with neem oil and water.
Sometimes I also add a few drops of Dr Bronner Mint soap, if pests are about to take over.
On plants that are highly suspectable to fungus and powdery mildew, such as cucumbers, squash and tomato it’s a good idea to apply the spray weekly as preventative.
