how did this mildew come about? He must have come by the wind? So what's the use of psychotting everything to disinfect everything to avoid mildew for next year if this year it has come by itself?
mildew has been present almost everywhere for a long time and dwells in the soil.
"We" talked about it on the main thread, but if you go on youtube, Didier once made an interesting video on this subject.
For potatoes, do a test by removing 2 or 3 plants. If you are satisfied with the tubers, no suspicious spots and a suitable size, I personally will take them all out.
Whoops ! thank you Biobombe, In his books Didier does not spend too much time on mildew since he has a tunnel but I forgot to search on YT.
That's it I found the two videos and I'm going to watch them. I also probably tightened my plants a bit (beginners' mistake: as we have a lot of plants, we want to put them all and ... finally we have nothing: I remember the lesson).
I also remember that even in rotten weather (especially in rotten weather) you have to go and watch your vegetable garden: well I'm learning
But I do not despair
Well, that's it I watched Didier's video: I watched a lot but the one on mildew I told myself that I would watch her so concerned and I forgot her. Well, I should have looked at it before because I am in the very unfavorable case with a forest which bypasses on 2 sides the field of my vegetable garden. Full of very large trees 30 m east and 30 m north of my vegetable garden
And like Didier, even in summer (I'm talking about real summers with hot weather) I have to put on boots to walk the dogs in the morning because the grass is soaked. In other words: assured mildew
THEREFORE: reaction: I mowed around 20m2 between the orchard and the path very close: away from the trees and in the sun and I'm going to put hay there and plant the tomato dishes that I had kept (just in case, you should never spoil
). I have just passed them from small pots where they vegetated to large pots: they leave wonderful! so i will plant them as soon as it stops raining
If it's okay, I'll put the tomatoes there next year and too bad if my vegetable garden is in 2 places.
