Mo' Daconil questions...
I'm glad I read all the topics on Daconil.
I originally bought the Garden Tech product in the spray bottle but returned it when I learned how yucky the stuff was. Got the concentrate instead and mixed it according to directions. My *new* questions: - There's now a milky residue on the leaves. Is that OK or did I overdo it with the Daconil? - I got with a painter friend and borrowed his respirator as I applied the stuff yesterday. But I didn't cover my various herb plants - thyme, parsley, culantro, chocolate mint, etc--- Should I be careful when it comes time to clip n' eat my herb plants? Some of 'em may have gotten a l'il overspray on 'em. I've learned a great deal from this gardening site and others. Thanks to all for your help! 8)

edited to add -- Be aware that there are different recommended spraying concentrations and times per year spraying limits for various plants. I did not notice any specific herb recommendations on the labeling, so to play it safe, you might want to avoid spraying the herbs in the future, since it really isn't necessary. http://www.ortho.com/media/media/pdf...bels/02976.pdf |

I would assume you need to spray both top and bottom of all the leaves.

I may just clip the herb plants--- oregano, thyme, mints, parsley--- that got a l'il overspray because they're near the tomato plants. They'll ALL grow back quickly. Especially since I just gave 'em some fish emulsion fertizer this a.m. Thanks for your help! 8)
