This Organic Disease Control Remedy Can RESCUE Your Garden

In this video, I share a 100% organic, natural and safe way to control diseases in your garden. Garden diseases can destroy a growing season, and garden disease control is mandatory in hot, humid and wet climates. However, many of us don't want to use harsh chemicals in our gardens. This amazing organic disease control remedy can rescue your garden from disease!
This unique natural and organic disease control spray uses the bacteria Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain D747 to control and prevent garden diseases. Because it is a biological spray, it works as a natural fungicide, bactericide and controls viruses, too! Learn how this natural bacteria works through the competitive exclusion principle here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillu...

[@jaytoney3007]

I'm in central Alabama where moisture, heat, and humidity are a problem. Conditions guarantee fungus, and powdery mildew. An ounce or two of hydrogen peroxide mixed with a quart of water, and sprayed on the plants kills fungus. A tablespoon of baking soda to a quart of water, and sprayed on the plants kills powdery mildew instantly. Combating both, mix them together, and spray every 7-10 days.

[@vixendterror1890]

Thank you!!

[@lindajarvies3953]

Thank you. Also in Central Alabama

[@pekino08]

thx your pretty much the only one showing ways to fight desease and pest without just the advise; plant flowers to attract beneficials.

[@Spencer_Plant_Projects]

Pro tip. Apply your bacillus with a wetting agent like tween 20 and a carbon/nitrogen source like soy amino acids or fish hydrolysate (NOT emulsion). This will help evenly distribute the organism and give them a little food so they "wake up" and go to work.

[@clashwithkeen]

One of my favorite videos of yours was when you did the urine experiment. I liked that you took a common gardening topic and did a real experiment to test the results. It seems that many english speaking gardening channels are all talking about electro/magnetoculture over the past couple months. Most of the experimental literature comes from Europe and I'd love to find out what you think about it and whether you think it's worth experimenting with. I really dislike that many of the texts on it refer to buzz words like "chi" and "aether" when it's just dealing with electromagnetic forces. I want to see a real experiment with a control and not a bunch of anecdotal comments. Again, thanks for all the work that you do.

[@uechikid8088]

Thanks for this and all your videos. As someone who hasn’t gardened in many years and now living in a climate completely different from what I gardened in before (before, Cali, now South Alabama), your videos have given me a head start. In this video you show several products that are no longer available at the links you left in your description. In case you weren’t aware. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

[@bigrich6750]

I’m in Pensacola in the Panhandle of Florida on the Northern Gulf Coast. We’ve had about 20” of rain in the last week. I lost some beautiful green tomatoes to splitting and rot, and my cucumbers are showing signs of powdery mildew. I’m spraying tomorrow with hydrogen peroxide and then Spinosad. I’ll add this to my arsenal.

[@rubytrotter3766]

Sounds good. I have used Bt for particular insect control. Will definitely use this for disease control. Having problems due to high humidity right now in peonies, but later cucumbers develop this problem.

[@rogehnimunoz4327]

Thank you for making this video! I've been researching these bacterial fungicides, but found a surprising lack of independent information. Turns out the ingredient is actually approved here in Canada, but generally only sold in gigantic industrial quantities. I hope to pick up a small bottle the next time I drive to the USA.

[@Chris-op7yt]

good. note that it's mostly about control of root borne disease on plants, not so much as a general fungicide. the preferred application method is via drip irrigation, as this good bacteria colonizes roots.

[@araucariasightings3247]

This sounds like a good idea for Phoenix Canariensis and sylvestris to prevent fusarium and lethal bronzing.

[@sandiarms4719]

Any other sprayer recommendations since that one is not available?

[@kellywalton4195]

Hello. Can you possibly do a video on how to use different products, together. For example, BT and complete disease control. Pyrethrum and BT etc. Thanks!

[@TheMillennialGardener]

A lot of these products probably shouldn't be mixed. For example, BT, Monterey Complete Disease Control and Spinosad are all natural bacteria. If you mix them, that could possibly cause harm. They may damage or compete with each other. I never mix any bacteria-based sprays together. I only spray them alone and on different days. The *only* things I *ever* mix together are pyrethrin and copper, because they are both essentially chemicals (even though they're natural). However, I try to delay the use of copper as long as possible in my garden. I'm still spraying the Monterey and haven't switched to copper yet. Very few things can be mixed together reliably.

[@hunterkee2065]

Big system coming into North Carolina starting tomorrow... I've pre treated with copper and sulfer

[@cottagefarmflowers]

I really want one of those sprayers but it's been unavailable since you did the video on it. Any advice for a substitute? I have a garden fleahopper invasion and I can't keep up.

[@adam_1144]

Hi Anthony. I wanted to ask for some input regarding planting citrus in zone 7a. I will be using a greenhouse so the environment won't be an issue. Currently the only place to plant the trees is facing east. I'm not sure which direction your trees face but I was wondering if growing them facing east would provide enough light for them to grow well. Thanks.

[@sylvia10101]

Very good information. Thank you MG! 😊👍

*Beautiful content and product share. I utilize peroxide but will get some of this as well. Quick Q... I have a white Marseilles fig that I pruned back 2 years ago and it has completely stopped producing figs. I did up pot it with a lot of rabbit manure last year. Overfed perhaps?*

[@reneejmj]

This is too funny. Around the same time this video was posted, I was at a nursery getting advice on how to deal with early potato blight. They recommended this product first.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

It's a solid product! I've been using it for a few years now, and I've been pretty satisfied. I also like that the concentration is low, so one bottle lasts me all season.

[@MichaelRei99]

Boy Dale sure is a beach bum! Its great for you both to be out there with that beautiful ocean air! I really like this tip! I tend to get a b lot of fungus on my cucumbers and I definitely think this will help!!

Great video. I am in Southern Illinois and we are like you with humid and hot summers. We just got our first significant rain yesterday and alone with it comes the oppressive humidity.

The next week is going to be awful. Unsettled pattern for the east coast. The disease is going to claim everything, so I will be spraying in anticipation.

[@lynnlovessoil]

It’s gonna be bad here in Atlanta as well.

[@billfroelich2570]

Thank you for all your advice and dedication to the tomato issues. So after 4 or more years of treating tomato leaf spot and mildew with the peroxide/copper routine you outlined years ago, do you still use this method and have you modified it all over time ? Thank you Bill

[@brianczuhai8909]

Trying it this year. Seems great so far. Stay tuned.

[@brianczuhai8909]

Oh, NO detramenta effects. Maybe just likes the watering.

[@K-Zone]

On another thought, can Meyer lemons survive 20 degrees in containers? I've been looking to get one, and it'll be in zone 8b/9a Seattle. The coldest it gets is about 16-17 in the coldest winters. And I'd shelter it then, but at 20 would it be okay still? Thanks in advance!

[@markvhidalgo]

Love the fogger!

[@TheMillennialGardener]

It’s awesome! One of my best investments ever!

[@laurab8547]

Do you think the Monterey Disease Control would be affective against leaf rot? I got leaf rot on my green beans (as diagnosed by a plant app) and I went right to the copper fungicide to help control it. That worked fine but my thought was maybe I should have started with the Monterey Disease Control first as a preventative before it got out of control on the leaves. I think it came from powdery mildew on the peas that were in the bed next door. Next year I will use the MDC to hopefully prevent the powdery mildew.

[@mr.lourod6175]

Thank You from Savannah, Ga. them little buggers are out and so its the rain every other hour or so. I am just trying to keep up and so far its working. But we have like the next week or so of rain again :) so we will see how that goes. BUT BIG THANK YOU!!

Randy, what are you using? That sounds much more convenient to use. Thanks.

[@watsonrk1]

Looking at the bottle this morning, it says to NOT use around foraging bee's. I had something that looked like powdery mildew on the plant stems, leaves were dropping off and this showed results in just a couple days.. was used on an ornamental shrub. Imidacloprid, mixed with water and soaked the roots.

We have grubs in our garden a week after spreading vegetable compost. I'm afraid they will eat the newly transplanted plants. I saw that you said not to use Sevin for grub control on the garden. What do you recommend to get rid of grub worms & beetles?

[@donaldduck830]

Birds. I mulched most of my garden during the last month and the birds are flinging the mulch everywhere, looking for worms or anything else edible.

[@jerryredfern76]

I used peat moss on the top of the soil to hide the dirt/soil because birds were messing in my garden as well... after spreading the peat moss. I haven't seen a disturbed area since. It's been 3 weeks and it helps maintain moisture, much like mulch can do.

[@tinabrenner6656]

I've had to pull several of my tomatoes plants already due to something thats attacing my plants from the roots. The plant looks like there's nothing wrong with it except the stem close to the ground is mushy. I've checked for a borer type bug or worm bit there's nothing. What could this be?

[@erikutube33]

Odd. I had two cherry tomatoes die off, nothing in the stems like a bacterial or fungal issue, but they died. I left the main body hanging so the tomatoes on them could ripen in the sun. The root system was small when pulled but didn’t look eaten by larvae, but could have been. I’ll prob never know what killed them. Maybe this would have helped?

[@brichter4669]

Regrettably, the ULV fogger machine you use and recommend is no longer available. That's a bummer. I see smaller versions of ULV fogger machines but not sure how well they would work. Outside of using a 2 gallon pump sprayer, what would you recommend?

[@TheMillennialGardener]

It is just out of stock. They had a sale where they dropped it to under $200 and it sold out. It will be re-stocked. It's pretty popular, so it goes in and out of stock at times. I'll make sure to post a link when it's back in stock. I linked to a backpack version. However, if you have a significant garden and the backpack version isn't available, I'd recommend holding out for a week or two until it's re-stocked and just check the link regularly.

[@ervthompson8443]

As you are talking about applying to the plants, the instructions say apply to roots. See the 4:25 mark. Which is it?

There are instructions for both a soil drench and a foliar spray.
