And Call Mel in the Morning…..
Mel found this great tip on Pinterest. Aspirin is the remedy for fungal plant problems! Black spot, powdery mildew, and rust are a terrible trio of fungi, which can attack and destroy your plants. Scientists have found that two uncoated aspirin tablets (325 milligrams each) dissolved in 1 quart of water and used as a foliar spray can thwart these diseases. Give it a try!

I remember putting baby aspirin in with the water for our Christmast tree years ago….maybe for the same reason?! I never did know why! Sounds good for other plants too! Thanks Mel!
Thanks for this post, Mel. I’m definitely going to try some of the suggestions in the article – especially the fungus treatments.
