ZUCCHINI

[Vanessa Thompson (pomare)]

whats eating my zucchini leaves. When i first brought the plants, they had 2 soft large leaves and two smaller ones in center. The center ones have growing heaps, with 4 more following suite.
BUT the two outer leaves. (they are soft and thicker to touch) Have been slowly eaten and gone yellow. But the rest are great????? Besides my baby bending a few of the leaves. (im glad i put the wire fence up)
I need to get a camera......one day have to borrow my sisters.

So for powdery mildew : milk, EM, increase water at root- minimize humidity in air (unlikely) by not watering leaves, increase uptake of calcium (dolomite or gypsum) and remove affected leaves. If that doesn't work then they don't deserve to live.

I've also had good results in the past by:
a) Avoiding watering the leaves (as Cassandra said) and
b) Spraying leaves with diluted seaweed (Seasol).
