Get Gardening: Getting Rid of Rust

If you've got problems with rust on your plants, Ian Roofe talks about a few ways to stop it and how to treat it.

Hello, nice video. I didn't see any natural solutions in your answers and thought you might want to add one. I've found that a mixture of baking soda, dish soup and water made into a spray is outstanding for rust and other issues. Add garlic and you've got a real help. (not my idea mind you. It is a suggestion from others years ago) Using it before there is a huge problem will save more foliage. You can use it when things get bad but as you mentioned you'll need you remove the badly infected leaves. Enjoy kids 🙂

Thanks for this! Really appreciate it...all about sharing knowledge!

[@sowmyanaresh7339]

What’s the ratio of baking soda, dish soap and water please?

[@kathlenemcclain9044]

At what ratio specifically?

[@michellebarnhill5130]

Thank you

How would one add garlic? Wouldn't it clog the sprayer tube?

I have my plants outside and has wind but is not enough. I'm in summer season, but There's humidity even in the wind. Rust and fungus is from humidity, the weather is humid per se. I'm planning to make a hole in ground and water through there and cover the hole again so that only the roots are watered.

Are there any plants that are more resistant to rust fungus than others?

Hello, I live in Canada and I have a Russian Olive that is about 10 feet tall. It appears there is rust on the leaves. - definitely rust as it looks identical to what has been shown in this video. I am perplexed about this though because we had an extremely dry summer. Maybe someone can help me? As all the leaves will shed over the winter do I need to be concerned as long as I clean up all the leaves? BACKGROUND: Where I live we did not have very much snow last winter and had very little rain which resulted in a VERY dry summer so much so that grass in the city where I live died if it was not watered (86mm = total precipitation for June, July & August Averaging 28.7 mm monthly). It was so dry and hot that many of the mature trees in the neighbourhood are dying as we have experience drought for many years now. On June 30th it was +38C and around 6:00 pm we had a strong wind and my neighbour's three storey tree had two boughs that crashed across the full width of my 43 ft. backyard (this gives you an idea of just how hot and dry our summer was). The arborist who removed the boughs in my back yard also ground two stumps in my front yard (one of the stumps is about 8 feet away from the Russian Olive). They also manicured the Russian olive with some of my yard clippers. I hadn't had a chance to sterilize them from other things I had clipped back earlier that week but I had cleaned them about a month earlier. I have a sapling tree watering bag so my tree would not get too much water all at once and I placed it on the base of the tree at the beginning of July and left it on until the end of August. There is no way I have overwatered it. I noticed in August that the tree started developing rust on a few of the leaves. There is a four storey elm and it appears that it has some sort of black fungus on it ( the closest it looks like is hypoxylon but it seems to only affect the upper branches on the elms and not the trunk). Currently the elm and the olive just touched leaves this summer and the elm sheds branches and twigs that are dry and the bark is black. I've called the city forestry department to trim the elm back when it is safe to do so.

Can often be mistaken for phosphorous deficiency.

I sprayed colloidal silver on my raspberry plant yesterday. We shall see. I might need a stronger spray. I also sprayed the ground. I'm going to try to avoid getting the leaves wet when I water

[@trying3841]

Did colloidal silver work?

Where I live in Borneo where it's hot and humid especially when it rains every single day will always have rust problems. There is no way to cure it doesn't matter what I spray. All my 10 varieties of figs have rusty leaves.

[@AlejandroRasmussen7]

C Y have you tried Opera fungicide?

[@dari.gerhana]

hi, I experienced this and I live in Borneo too! Apakah solusinya masih belum ketemu?

[@Mary-zm7nz]

"Knock it on the head really really fast". Hey this isn't some Colony uprising we're talking about, this is just rust infection bro, calm down. 😂

[@dustinpotter8312]

5 minutes of verbiage and no re solution. Sorry... get to the point what to do than the dictionary of the cause. Not helpful to me.

[@crowellovecraft7289]
