I went out to gather squash, and found the dreaded white powdery moldy squash leaves! No!
It could have been that redwood fog or the fish emollition I used. (They need slow release fertilizers, fish emollition is quick.
But either way, the mold was here. I had been told that its a normal thing towards the end of season. So I researched on what to do. And one of the answers was not something I ever thought of putting in my garden.
Milk.
Gross.
There was different ratios, I used 50 parts milk to 50 parts water in spary bottle and shake and spray the effected areas. The milk is supposed to have an enzyme in it that kills the mold. You have to spray it when the sun will beat down on it, and the combo is supposed to kill the mold spores and fix the problem.
Made the garden smell like warm milk, better that than mold.
I will update everyone next Monday, hopefully with happy squash news.
Thanks for reading my blog, Have any of you had moldy squash leaves? How did you take care of it?
