Cotswolds Garden - FAQs
Frequently asked gardening related questions
While powdery mildew thrives in dry leaves and humid air, managing it in humid UK conditions requires good air circulation. Prune congested growth to allow air to flow through the plant. Avoid overhead watering late in the day. Ensure consistent soil moisture to prevent root stress. Consider planting more resistant varieties. Organic sprays like dilute milk solution or potassium bicarbonate can help reduce spread on foliage, but good air flow is primary.
