Since we just moved into our house, I was already on the lookout for gardening projects. I spend a lot of time in our backyard, and getting some plants going would be a fun summer project. One of the plants I wanted to start from seed was Hollyhocks. I’d never grown them before, but they looked tall and beautiful in almost every photo I came across of them. They were also said to attract butterflies and hummingbirds alike, which made me want them even more. I started the seeds indoors back in February (yes, that early). However now that it’s May, those little seeds need to get transplanted or they’ll never survive the heat outdoors. Unfortunately my poor hollyhocks haven’t been able to be transplanted because of an infestation of Japanese beetles (yuck). Our landscaper has tried a couple different ways to rid ourselves of these annoying insects, but they keep coming back! Finally he suggested something… For decades gardeners have used various products to try and control fungus on their vegetable plants. While this may be effective, it is also adding chemicals to your soil, which means you are eating those chemicals in your produce. Instead of adding chemicals with each planting, this article will provide you with a homemade solution for your fungal problems. This works on many different plants that encounter fungus from time to time. The best part is that all you need for most cases is items found in your kitchen and bathroom.
Homemade Fungicide For Hollyhocks
The truth is, there’s nothing as unique as a homemade fungicide for hollyhocks.
The quality of our product is unmatched by anyone else in the industry. What makes it so great? It’s made from quality materials!
We know you want a product that is going to work for your garden, but we also know how important it is that you know where your materials are coming from. We’ve worked hard to make sure that all of our ingredients are sourced from local farms and businesses, so we can ensure that they’re safe for you and your family. The best way to get rid of hollyhock rust is to make your own fungicide. It’s easy, effective and you can use it for other plants as well.
First, grab a spray bottle and fill it up with water. Then add some liquid soap to the mix. You can also add some dish washing detergent if you want a more potent solution. The soap will help break down the rust fungus and make it easier for the plant to absorb nutrients through its leaves and stems. You’ll need about 2 tablespoons per gallon of water for best results.
Next, find some baking soda or baking powder (like Arm & Hammer) and sprinkle some into your container or bucket after each time you water your plants with this mixture. You can also add some Epsom salts (or even table salt) into the container as well if desired but they are not necessary unless you’re dealing with an especially bad case of hollyhock rust disease where large portions of leaves have browned over time due to lack of oxygen flow within them from dead cells blocking off airways which leads to further browning of those areas because there’s no way for them to get fresh oxygen supplies from outside sources coming in through nearby roots systems so therefore those
