Gary, you may have already done this but could you do a video on all the sprays you've created and what plants you used them on and for what diseases/pests?

[@SlackerU]

I kinda need a chart too b/c some of these sprays must be reapplied if it rains but can only be used 4-7 times per year, it's confusingly complex.

I agree with Yana. I don't know what is to be disregarded in favor of your most recent recommendations. Do I listen to only videos done within the past year? Or, do I follow your recent sprays based on your labeled episode number. Your videos have been very helpful but I don't know the different between your sprays. Too many videos to keep track of

[@ceecee-thetransplantedgardener]

Thank you, Gary. This video is so helpful! First year growing cucumbers, very successful till now. I believe my spots started in July, too. I’m in west central Indiana border. I’ll make and test the peroxide spray to start. Thanks again! Bless you!

[@kele1264]

Thank goodness for your advice and your shop, or I wouldn't have known about the oils or gotten the right kind. I was spritzing the peppermint oil as I pruned plants, to mask any distress smell that bugs could pick up on and come attack my plants. From you I've learned (so many things) about peroxide and baking soda too. Love the detail you go into about the diseases and the treatments, and how to protect pollinators along the way. As I plan my next garden, I'll be rewatching so many of your videos, incorporating notes into my plans. I also do "future garden calendar", so that old problems don't take me by surprise. Late June through beginning of August is just brutal for pest and disease pressure. It can make people want to give up. Always looking ahead on the future calendar helps be early and on time for the onslaught, helps me feel like I'm in control of my garden, not the nasties. Thanks for all you awesome information and demonstrations. It's so much better to feel like I'm not totally alone in trying to keep my garden healthy so that I can enjoy it. Good health and happiness to you and yours, always!

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

That garden calendar is a great idea. We just can remember it all. This is where I slow down LOL and the diseases take hold, so I am trying to wrangle them under control.

[@kele1264]

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN When you get bogged down and feel like, "oh just let the bugs have it", remember that a lot of us out here need you. Most of our gardens aren't as big as yours, so every plant we lose is a huge deal - economies of scale. A lot of us are looking at this like needed food, not a novelty. You've worked so hard at your garden, and at Freetown. We depend on you to teach us how to start, maintain, and persevere with our gardens. Let us be your buoy, just like you are ours.

I like the idea of spraying the soil surface, just like mushrooms grow I woukd think the only way for spores to go up and hit your plants are if they fruit from the ground, and fruiting mycelium can be stopped with h2o2. Awesome video Gary.

Hi Gary. Perfectly timed video for me. I have been battling anthracnose and spider mites. I feel like I am spraying constantly. Things seem to get out of hand when we have frequent rain, the leaves stay wet and I can’t spray. I will try to follow H2O2 spray with baking soda spray. Thanks for all your great advice. This is my first year of patio container gardening and have learned all about the fungal infection, mites, squash bugs and unfortunately vine borers. Hopefully I will be prepared for next year!

Using H2o2 since I saw your videos on it years ago :) according to my experience on tomatoes and cucumbers - 0.3 % solution as a prev and a 0.5 % if things go bad. Now - the cucumbers could tolerate much stronger solution ( up to 1%) , and for tomatoes - 0.5 % is a max dose. Tested in different weather conditions. I dilute it from a 35% h202.

What do I do because my cucumber plants are inside? They are in Aerogardens and Kratky Methods in other containers How do I spray inside without hurting anything and myself? There Is a Lost Coast Spray...I wonder if that works for this. I've used it outside in my Tower Gardens for the Powdery Mildew. I think I rember it dried up the leaf and fell off. I wonder if it works on this Mildew? What would you use inside the house? Thank You!!!

#1. How often do you have to spray the peppermint mixture on the plants to kill the aphids and will this work on white flies? #2. If it rains should you reapply any of the mixtures to the plants?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I would look up the peppermint oil on my channel for details but any soapy oil spray can be effective agains soft bodied insects. Peppermint oil is a huge irritant in addition to them. I I use it more for spider might every 7-10 days. Unless it rains super hard, your are good till next schedule spraying.

I planted over 40 cucumber seedlings a few weeks ago here in Thailand. The majority started off ok then suddenly died. So I tried it again, while planting 6 seedlings in my raised beds. Again I lost them all, apart from the ones in my raised beds, or at least 50% of them. I believe that they all died because of the heavy clay soil, which I diluted with compost in my raised beds.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Hi! I was having a problem with all my plants not really growing at all from May-July…I eliminated all other possible causes…so I KNEW it was my soil but had no idea what the problem was or how to fix it!! So I took a LARGE cup to a local nursery where they tested my soil…Im in the south US where we have very much clay soil…Ive been gardening for a long time so I knew that..so when building my raised bed, I went overboard & added TOO MUCH composed humus, top soil & mulch…my pH in my raised bed was 5.1! It shouldn’t ever be lower than 6.2! So after instructions from the nursery, I had to add lime, cow manure & good ole DIRT from my yard!! It takes a while for the soil to acclimate & become good, high quality soil, but my plants almost immediately started growing MUCH better!! So my whole point is just to recommend that you have your soil tested asap!! Don’t waste your time or lose anymore plants trying to figure it out when you’ve already lost so many! Good luck!! We’re all still learning!!!

I often forget to like content that isn't just mindless funnies.

[@SlackerU]

I wonder if the plants might be experiencing a high VPD, where basically the air is too dry & sucks moisture out of the leaves too quickly causing calcium toxicity. My cucumbers have always looked like yours but I've seen some hydroponic farms with some perfect plants. Often times people confuse high VPD(high temps with low moisture causing calcium toxicity) with the idea that they have herbicides in their recently purchased soil or amendment.

I have 6% hydrogen peroxide how much should I use per litre of water ?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I dont know per liter. But my numbers are based on 3% hydrogen peroxide. So use 1/2 of what I use. Yours is 2x's as strong.

[@chefevilee9566]

You pre-spray them with what

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Same stuff. Prespray as before you see the problems. This is a good way to prevent issues.

I just did this with hydrogen peroxide and this afternoon I see a couple dead bumblebees in my garden! I am not happy with that and now I’m scared to use the baking soda!

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

What are you afraid of? If you arent contacting and soaking the bees, these wont hurt them.

[@kittyward7695]

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN well when you are spraying and bees are all on the plants, how do you not spray them? Thanks

[@newtogardening3632]

My plants do not have one cucumber. Not sure what’s going on. Plants look good but no produce.

[@cyann410]

I am having the same issue! One variety- Lemon cukes, is full of blossoms and the plants are beautiful, but not one cucumber. Then, in another bed, about 20 feet away, the Japanese cukes are full of blossoms and fruits! I thought maybe the problem was no flowers close enough for bees to pollinate, but then I found the other plants full of cukes, hiding behind heavy leaf growth. I don’t know what is going on.

Your night temps need to get below 75f & you might try covering them for 10-12 hours of total darkness. I planted luffa in February & not a single flower yet, the days get below 13 hours of sunlight around August 22nd so I hope to see some flowers then.

[@newtogardening3632]

It’s frustrating. No bees so I hand pollinated some of my melons and they are growing nicely.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

It can take time when heat is up. Plants know not to grow fruit as its just too hot.

Is there anything you SHOULDNT spray this on??

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Im sure but the best way is to test spray and wait 48 hours and you can see if it does damage. Make a list of what it seems to help.
