After having a severe PM bout last year right out of the gate......Im not going to do that this year......but I have some spots on my 895....just started....so it getZ actinovate NOW....along with the rest..... Spots maybe just dew settlings but Im not taking the chance......

Question~

Do we need to clean, wash our last yearZ blankets and covers that may be transferring PM sporeZ? last year I had it all over. Am I bringing it back by using the same coverings on my new plants this year? I would assume that thoZe sporeZ last year to year just like our Mycho doeZ......True or False?

Wiz, you need to sleep with the sheets for a night and fumigate them before you put them out in the patch!

Wowzers, big beat down...but bottom line is??? Should our shade cloths,& mill fabric be bleached & rinsed b/4 using them again? Peace, Wayne

Itotally agree..Bleach and wash anything from the previous year..OR just buy some new cheap sheets..compared to the other things we spend money on it is not a big item...Mark
