thx
Thank you my good man!
Thanks!
Do you think that we could mix them all together to create a super anti mildew mixture? 🤔
@@aristokat1344 I am also wondering this
I love how you put the measurements right on the screen in big letters like you did for the baking soda measurement. I took a screenshot for future reference. So thoughtful of you. Thank you!
Any combination of milk and water will work. 1 to 1 or even a 1 part milk to 3 parts water will also work. Good luck.
Ok next week know

neem is an evergreen tree, you can mix neem oil in soil, it doesnt harm bees. Neem oil is strong, it has to be diluted to be sprayed on leaves. Otherwise also , neem has been used over centuries for various purposes, like neem branches to brush teeth, neem leaves in boiled water to cure skin infection etc. there are many usage of neem - the entire tree is a blessing for mankind.
How do I get/plant a neem tree?

I love the fact you explained everything in a direct and thorough way! Thank you for this!
At 4 minutes and 22 seconds is when I like your video cuz you brought up something that a lot of people don't and that's the bee the pollinator The giver of vegetables and fruits to the world save the bee save the world 👍👍👍 you get three thumbs up and a peace sign 😎
This has been an incredibly helpful video. Just found powdery mildew on our cucumber leaves. Thanks again Brian for another BEST gardening video!!!!
I gave up growing things about 5 years ago because my pear trees and other trees grew too tall and gave too much shade. Plus, having a bad back, I just couldn’t make a new garden area. So this year, I had some wire shelving and a neighbor threw out 14X14 ceramic tiles. So I bent the shelving to two “L”s, put the tiles on the inside edges then filled with miracle grow pro mix and some of my garden soil. My two tomato plants have been in the ground for almost two weeks and they look great! It’s 4 feet from my back porch and gets enough sun. Thanks to you, I feel confident in growing! I have more shelving and tile so I think I’ll build another 4X4 garden for other easy grow things. Thank again, so much! Oh, I did notice white spots tonight. I had an oak tree that fell down a couple years ago and used the inside as mulch. I think I caused the mold so I’ll try one of your ideas tomorrow
Thank you for your input in my opinion all of those things will work I’ve used all of them I really appreciate someone that knows what they’re talking about I’m an Organic gardener and a landscape contractor, I love your channel keep up the good work👍❤️
Thank you so much for putting this video up with the ratios for homemade remedies on the screen as solutions to powdery mildew. Very informative.
So I did exactly what you said not to do, leaving the leaves on the ground, just an hour ago. Thank you for the informative video. Going out in the garden and fixing my mistake right away!
Lol. Thanks for watching!
Oh my! I just did the exact same thing... I cut many tomato branches, full of this mildew, and dropped these in the grass... Then after seeing this video, went out (in the dark!) to pick up all those branches to drop in the trash... *blush*
Unfortunately the 1st 2 times I've treated I just left the leaves on the ground because when you grow cannabis they make so many leaves that you have to constantly trim. Next year I'll have to be more careful but I'm just treating my plants once a week now to make sure it doesn't come back with baking soda and water.
Very informative thank you
Same
milk did the trick for me earlier this year
Thank you! I am new to this and my squash/zucchini plants are just covered. I have to prune again tomorrow and then treat what's left. I have learned so much from taking on a new challenge during the pandemic.
Great ideas which I will pass to my friend who noticed mildew on a rose. I have looked after a communal garden for many years but now only look after window boxes a few outdoor plants and indoor plants too. I still love caring for them. Thanks for encouraging us.
This video is extremely helpful, thank you for giving precise measurements
Thanks for the tips! It’s powdery mildew season here in Niagara, and I’ll be using lots of your tips to quell the onslaught!
You're the best! it really took 24 hours!❤ My roses were sick for a couple months... Thank you!!!!
What method did you use??
Thanks for your help, your video gave more options then any others.
That moment when you see a notification for a California Garden TV video, always a highlight of my day!!! Who else loves his videos?
Awww. Thank you so much. Honestly seeing your comment and your support is always the highlight of every upload😀
Cindy Hewatt Me I do Cindy it's pretty cool
Yup, agreed. Great tips and explanations. Gotta watch!
I am happy I got answers for my mildew /fungus problem of my newly planted roses. And some good understanding of the problem.
I have started gardening on a small scale in part of my yard. I am not much experienced in gardening.
I will learn here a lot I guess.
I started a quarantine container garden and your videos have helped a lot! Thank you! 🌱🌻
Much appreciated! Thought I was going to lose our cucumber plants - just when we were seeing a great harvest. Sprayed Neem Oil three days ago, after cutting off the worst leaves, and we now have rejuvenated cucumber plants! Also sprayed it on our pepper plants, tomatoes, and string beans even though they were not showing and disease signs.
Try neem meal in your soil…….milk and baking soda as spray
I’m about to loose all my green beans over this stuff..vinegar is useless.
I didn’t know neem oil could be used for powdery mildew. I sprayed baking soda on my plants(at a lower concentration )but nothing happened. I might just try neem oil today to save my cucumbers and beans
I used the baking soda, cooking oil, dish soap method on a spaghetti squash (which is growing on a trellis due to space). I sprayed the 4 affected leaves and returned an hour later. Not only had it killed those leaves but the portions of other leaves the spray had dripped on. DON'T USE on spaghetti squash plants. I also used the treatment on a dahlia at the same time. It resolved the mildew issue and the plant suffered no ill effect.
After the mildew spread I also tried 40% milk 60% water. No adhesion, just runs right off the squash leaves.
I love the way you think. I use the $1.25 lemon or orange dish washing liquid (not the antibacterial kind bc it kills plants), baking soda & white vinegar. Miracle indeed. 🌱🌱
I used the oil soda and soap mix on our zucchini and it killed it as well. :( It may have been too concentrated? Not sure but it killed it overnight. Definitely killed the mildew though 😂
Been trying to Vinegar this past week and it hasn't seemed to do anything! I've done 3 or 4 applications with no huge change on our remaining zucchinis, a butternut, and 2 jap pumpkins. What a nightmare!
Great video! The mulching and watering techniques for preventative care are highly underrated and provide the best defense to p.m. on zucchini. My tip: Twice a day inspection is a must after leaves are fully grown... early detection is invaluable.
I'm near Seattle and found that Neem solution spray is the answer (just on my squash leaves).
What brand of Neem oil are you using?
thanks for sharing your knowledge in taking care plants
EXCELLENT tips and tricks for mildew. Thank you so much.
Spraying the milk and water has helped tremendously for me on my spaghetti squash. But I have been spraying almost daily. I removed the worst leaves and sprayed all of the plant stems and leaves, even the healthy ones. It has not stopped the powdery mildew completely but has definitely given it a fighting chance!
Baking soda in the water alone works great, If you have a plant wide infection there's no way of getting rid of it completely so though but completely so there will always be spores in the cells so if you plan on ingesting it you gotta keep treating it every week until harvest.
Great video! We use the water, baking soda, vegetable oil, and a few drops of dish soap method. We are testing it out on Apple treelings - and it seems to do the trick. We are sticking away from the vinegar as it can acidify the soils after many applications, even though it's low concentration.
Good info..just found mildew on my squash!!
Needed this. By the end of last summer we had it on everything except the grass.
Omg thank you soooo much! I have grown quite fond of you Sir 😁
Thank you I appreciate that!
I tried the mouthwash/water treatment and it worked great!
Also used it on Japanese beetles!
on japanese beetles?? wonder if it would help my rose bushes from pests esp japanese beetles
Thank God for this video. Everything I was wondering in one place. Whew!
Thank you for the great info.
Great video. Very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the advice. Very grateful.
Thank you for Large directions on the screen!
I used 1 part milk to 2 parts water and in 24 hours that's a huge improvement! I planted Verbena for the first time and this is the first time I've have the white fuzzy stuff. It works great!
What do you guys mean by 1 part milk
@@FOURFTP 1/2 cup milk to 1 cup water or 1 cup milk to 2 cups water. Whatever amount you use for milk double the water.
@@meescha2798 Thank you!!
I used baking soda with neem oil. I think it keeps the healthy plants that normally get it from getting it. Because the garden is small I grow everything vertical and that makes spraying easy. The cucumbers that normally get powdery mildew never got powdery mildew but the dying peas next to it did. The peas did really good but heat in the summer gets the peas. Same thing with the pole beans and melons. The pole beans got powdery mildew when they were finished but the melons near it never got powdery mildew and looked good until frost.
Great video I'm in Newark fighting mold on a squash plant also and it's not going well.thanks for the tip!
Thank you for watching!
This video was very helpful, will save a lot of my plants here in Florida where it rains a lot and has high humidity. Not to change the subject but did anyone else notice how magnificent his beard is? Perfectly salt and peppered. Not even kidding around, even my girlfriend was mesmerized by it. Dude beard 10/10.
Thanks for that video, I'm going to give it a go.
I love your ideas!
Hello from Vancouver Island, BC Canada. I'm fighting this mildew on my squash plants. Your timing is perfect.
Hi! I'm so glad! Thanks for watching and good luck
Yeah, we are getting it pretty bad this year (2019), more so than previous years. My method that's worked best on our farm (we're in Victoria) is to spray known previous hotspots and trouble plants (zucchini and squashes) with a 1/2 milk - water solution, then if/when the white spots do appear, use the baking soda dish soap spray to treat it.
Good solutions suggested.Thanks.
Thank you for your knowledge. I'm so glad I Seen this video..
This infection killed my tomato plants and cucumbers. Thank you for the information, definitely going to try
Hi, neem oil is great, but I didn’t know it works for powdery mildew! Thank you for posting! I use need oil to keep mosquitoes away from human by spray on ourselves and around as well!
I’ve seen that slaked lime will work for powdery mildew, but I haven’t try it yet, I got this mildew on my fig leaves, first I didn’t know what it was, then I realized that’s what I had, so I look in to here of course, and sure enough I was right, then look for what I can do, only thing I had in my house was baking soda, and vinegar, so I used baking soda, then I checked what if neem oil would work, then I saw your post, so I spray that too! Hopefully it’ll be gone by tomorrow! Thank you for the great info always!
All natural remedies for powdery mildew, oh my! 😊 I am so excited to gently experiment and see which one of these work for me. Thank you so much for these tips, from a beginning gardener!
Which ones worked?
Yes, what are your results?
I like your advice and it's work in my zucchini plants.thankyou so much😊
You're welcome. So glad to hear that
Used need works great
Thank you!!! Awesome!!!
The guitar playing sounds like Third day! love it
This will be our second year gardening, and I will say that I love your gardening tips, especially about mildew and squash bugs. And how to grow my zucchini vertically. Just was wondering if you had any books on your gardening.
Neem oil dilution is 5ml for one liter of water or about 1-1/3tbs for a gallon.
Useful info for those who live where the gardening ready product is forbidden and they have no direction provided with their cosmetic brands of neem oil.
Please fact check my comment (because I found this in the 263 comments of this video) and pin it to the top comments.
You get a new subscriber if you do so. Thanks very much!
Thought I would pass along a tip I learned about spraying. Soap is a good additive to help the spray stick to leaves, however there are ionic detergents which tend to bubble and foam like dish soap, and there are non-ionic soaps which don't foam. You can buy this additive as a garden supply item but a common, cheap, non-ionic liquid is laundry detergent which is working well for me. Sticks to leaves and doesn't foam. I only put 2-3 tbsp per gallon.
Dish washer soaps won't foam either. I use them in my power washer when I wash the car, works great!
Thank you for such a helpful video! I have lots of indoor plants and I’ve been freaking out because they ALL got powdery mildew. Now I know I can use neem oil as treatment, not just a preventative insecticide.
My cucumbers have mildew I have just tried mouthwash cheers 👍👍👍👍👍 KEEP THE INFORMATION BLOGS COMING 👌👌👌👌
Thanks I will try
Thanks a lot 4 d much desired info.video.
This happened to my begonias. I cut off every single leaf that had spores on it. They all grew back, I now have brand new begonias healthy and strong!
I have gardened off and on most of my life but I have NEVER seen the infestation of powdery mildew we have this summer. We have no shade on our garden. I haven’t watered overhead-but most of the past at my house has been very warm, rainy, humid-perfect for this stuff.
This happened to me this year for the first time ever and I have searing sun all day on my roses. I have to say I did use a Copper Fungicide after using the neem oil and I am hoping it stops soon. Crossing my fingers!
Same here in Panhandle of N Idaho, it’s ridiculous this year!
Great info and I do have Neem Oil YAY!
Thx. for all ur info.
I heard that it’s best to use Neem oil in the evening after the bees are pretty much done foraging for the day. Thanks for the tips! I didn’t know it could work on powdery mildew! I have some on my beebalm (not flowering yet) and also I want to use neem oil on my chamomile and a few surrounding plants because I’ve found evidence of spittle bugs
The neem oil works like magic! Thanks👍
It does!
@Tashuna Ray me too. the leaves all shriveled and looked even worse with neem oil. Every leaf.
Thank you!
Thank you! 🌹
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 am going to try on my fig tree leaves.. Thank you
Thank you
Just saw a tomato hornworm on my tomato plants which is totally unrelated to this but figured it’s time to treat the zucchini plants if I’m going to pull out the sprayers.
Thanks so much
I use been oil but heat idea using a fish emolsion at same time thanks
Thank you needed this
Thank you so much for this video! I live in a Pacific rainforest and it's always so humid and rainy in summer here, which leads to this powdery mildew being ALL over my garden and bonzais! I'm going to try some of these methods and I hope they work!
@Fester Adams it worked though, lmao 🤣🤣🤣 the one calling names seem to have bad intentions..
He's made the same comment on several people. I am wondering if he sells the light himself lol
I live in a similar climate, which one of them worked best for you?
@@MandyOnderwater all the preventatives he mentions really help, but the one that works well for me is the baking soda method.
I'd spray every other day, or when I noticed a spike in the mold, then as the leaves began to brown I'd pick and dispose of them. the new leaves that sprouted would also receive the same spray, which prevented the mold from spreading. it's a bit of a task but it is %100 worth it, especially since this guy took the time to give a proper measurement. props and good luck!
@@MandyOnderwater I've also heard from my neighbors that the milk method is a more gentle yet effective method for more sensitive plants. :) I haven't found as much success with it as the baking soda, but it's worth a try!
Superb...very nice style🎉
Hey Brian! How are your habanada peppers? I’ve had a few roulettes - absolutely no heat! Nice to taste what habañero is like without heat. However, my favorite is marconi rosso, another sweet pepper. So good, definitely will grow again! Maybe next year I’ll try habanada to compare with roulette.... but m. rosso is definitely my all time favorite; I’ve never really liked peppers before until I tasted it! How do you eat your habanada? I sauteed my roulette.... but I’ll probably make salsa next harvest. I planted 2 roulettes in a 7G pot and it is so prolific!
Love your videos
Thank you!
Thanks!!!
I have used a mixture of potassium carbonate (I heard it was better than baking soda) + vinegar + milk + equal amount of water. It worked.
Are the amounts for each 1 part each?
@@sagepreaumx9903 I don't remember exactly. I think it was about 1 tablespoon potassium carbonate, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup milk, but that is just a guess. I should have written it down.
@@ketzbook did you have to repeat it soon after? and where did you hear of the recipe? did you make it up from trial and error?
@@alexguzman6719 Yes, I did have to repeat it several times, as I had powdery mildew pretty bad. I tried the recipe basically by combing a few recipes that I found on the internet. I didn't optimize the amounts or anything; it worked on the first try, so I was happy with my results. One thing you don't want too much vinegar because that will neutralize all your potassium carbonate.
Great... Love from India...
I use frankencense oil works great
That's exactly what happened to my zucchini batch.. it's my first time gardening and I did water my plants by spraying all over🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Thanks a lot for the video , I'll do that first thing in the morning..
Thank you for the great tips - I live in humid Florida where powdery mildew is abundant. Before I started gardening, I never realized how much problem solving goes into this. I guess it keeps it interesting because every day there is something new to do battle with. Lol.
Haha I’m in Florida to dealing with the same issue, this mildew is attacking my peppers
I’m in central Florida and with the rain and humidity this week it struck my squash, cucumbers and garden beans.
Hello guys, I'm in the Bahamas 🇧🇸 and our climate is very humid. On an average day it's anywhere fro 80 -90F.
I have the same issues especially it seem to like squash / pumpkins, also guava plants.
I'm gonna be trying one of the tips given.
Thanks for sharing your experiences and tips.
Successful gardening to each of you😊

This is the 1st year I've had powdery mildew however it's only in my container plants not in raised bed thankfully. I'm hopeful this will work..thx so much
This is the first time I have had it on tomatoes. Its been a wet year for us. Only the tomatoes in one of my Feed thy Neighbor projects got them. I feel like all the pruning I've done went to trash instead of compost this year. Its awful.
I absolutely see it each and every year on certain things, cucs and melons, lilac bushes, tomatoes and other nightshade as well as stuff in shady and protected spots where the wind is usually still
Good video!
i love this channel and this shirt :)
Thanks Steve. I love the shirt too👍😀
Thank you for the videos! I hve the same problems with the powdery mildew like all gardeners! My guestion: i can use these method on my vine grape and fruits which later i eat them?
I love Neem and sals suds! I spray once a week and my plants are beautiful! I even used it on my million bell basket to kill mites and it worked great!
What is sals suds?thx
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.
This guy is great
Aww thanks 😊
Hi we have Neen in in a bottle. I used it last year wish dishwash soap ie Fairyliquid on our Roses
We boight an Acer tree snd it has it on. Will get my Hubs to try the Milk method first. We have Semi skinned x
Question for all.. I have bushing pickles that are taking off and quite healthy and beautiful. However.. they arent quite bushing, they keep vining. Can I top my plants to make them bush, or would this stunt their growth? I'm not used to bushing, usually do vining, but I prepared this year for bushing only, and I'm having issues. All suggestions welcome, I thank everyone kindly in advance.
This year I used a heavy mulch for them from dry grass clippings all around my babies, kept it about 2 inches away from the main stems, and i havent had any mildew or pests 😍 thank you, you've helped me soooo much since subscribing 💙
We have that problem in our raised garden
Hello Brian. Need some help in finding neem plants and growing them in zone 9. Sacramento. Thank you.
What cant you use vinegar for?
I used the baking soda recipe with some essential oils that should kill fungus...
Looks better this morning already. (Did it last night because it was raining all day)
I might have to reapply some more, but happy to see a big reduction already.
If things would dry out for a day or two maybe I can tell where to prune some excess leaves too.
yeah you are right. in my backyard i have alot of fugues before. i never see this kong of white powder above the leaves?
We don’t normally see this until our cooler wet season. Right about September or October. But here we are in the beginning of august and it has become a massive problem.
I tried trimming the leaves. Came out the next morning and has spread to 75% of my squash which covers a 16’x20’ area. Blooming has slowed, and some of the smaller obviously pollinated squash are rotting off. I have a ton of squash, so if I lose the plants now I won’t be devastated. However the plants are in very close proximity to my tomato plants and I REALLY don’t want them to get it.
I am not sure if I never noticed it before, but I have noticed leaf mold developing on flowering bushes AFTER I pruned them back because they were growing up through plants that were on either sides of them.
atari, had not seen that in a long time, still have a working 4000 and a 2600, use to have a 800 (the best) with a disk drive
I feel like I had the original back when it was the only thing around but that's long gone now
I just saw a fascinating documentary last night on a show called Bay Area Revelations: The Evolution of Video Games. Narrated by actor Peter Coyote. History of Pong, Atari, Electrinic Arts and current gaming world.
