Best source for Serenade?

Posted by marymilkweed z9 Orlando FL (My Page) on

I was hoping to find Serenade locally without having to pay shipping charges. I'm beginning to see a few tiny spots of powdery mildew on the summer squash leaves. Tonight I sprayed with a tablespoon of baking soda mixed with Neem Oil until I can locate the Serenade which was highly recommended to me on the Harvest forum. Does everyone carry out a weekly spray regimen for mildew when growing Cucurbits, and if so, is Serenade the best choice? Thank you for all your help, I just may get through my first growing season with a harvest.

Mary, I found it on Ebay from a supply in Tampa.
The big 32oz concentrate was about $20 including shipping.
I use it on the tomatoes and watermelon and it really does work.
You can mix it with Spinosad and spray both at the same time too.
Someone told me, since it a bacteria, to use water with no chlorine in it to mix them. Don't know about that, I don't bother.

I think Serenade is best use as a preventative rather than a cure. But you can give it a try. I don't think there is anything out there that works 100%.
I get all my organic sprays including Serenade from Peaceful Valley Farm.
I get a few things at the same time to justified the shipping charges.
32 oz. concentrate was 17.99 plus shipping.
