Small stand of red clover in one of my planted areas, it quickly became almost overwhelmed with powdery mildew!

I decided last year after fungi destroyed my tomatoes I WOULD NOT let it happen again. So I broke out the sprayer, made 2 gallons of Potassium Bicarbonate solution, and sprayed away.

Powdery mildew has retreated almost totally! Plus, the potash in the solution is an EXCELLENT fertilizer!

For those who can’t get the potassium bicarbonate, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) works almost as well.
