Default white powder on leaves

Mildew - it's because it's been such a dry year.

Clear the affected plants, and next year, water well and often (or pray

for
rain).

I tend to compost mildewy things, but I suspect I should really burn them.


I've always assumed that mildew is just one of the many things that
helps the general breaking down into soil, and would therefore be an
asset rather than otherwise. But I may be completely wrong.
