TO FUNGICIDE ...OR NOT...?

Gardeneer · April 1, 2017

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN A POUND OF CURE.

Today I started my routine, officially.
I posted a sheet of paper on the wall, in the garage to keep track. I cannot trust my memory.
here it goes :

April 1st >>> Daconil >>> applied half strength.

I have also Neem oil at hand to alternate. Thinking about getting Copper fungicide too. I have bleach in the house as well.
I will do it ~~ once a week, depending on the rain. I will repeat after rain no matter when I sprayed before that. Then rain can also delay my schedule. For example if it has been 7 days since the last spray but it is going to rain for the next 4 day then I will will do it on the 12th.
What is your view on Fungiciding ?

I like to alternate with Neem oil as it is also insecticide and miticide. Or that is what is claimed. I know it works on aphids and white flies.
I also spray milk/water (50/50) on squash family to ward off powdery mildew.
