Need to sterilize 5x10 tent. Bad powdery mildew infection. Empty now.
pretty easy disease to deal with, actually. Just about anything will kill it. Dry it out, vinegar, olive oil and water (sounds like salad dressing) with a drop or two of 'plain' dish detergent works on living plants. I've had lots of experience with a phlox plant that gets pm every year, as well as some bee balm and lilac bushes. I used Safer fungicidal soap but it's not necessary (and it's costly). I'll fill up (well, one gallon or so) a 2 gallon sprayer with the vinegar water and detergent and spray everything, over and under all leaves. Another solution is one tablespoon of baking soda to a gallon of water with the detergent and one teaspoon of veg or olive oil. Spray liberally.
On the grow equipment I go with ammonia and water or bleach and water (but never both).
Good luck
Tnx a bunch. Emptied the tent and went outside with plants, they look better every day. But wanted to clean equipment.
Done and done
Shovel handle (sorry this machine says that's two words, dummy, and I've fought it long enough) worked like a dream, but started buds looking strange, some Sun burn, some from cold, saved over half for sure thanx again.
