Cause vs. cure.
I mistakenly spread a load of new multch on the backyard several years ago which was thick with chunks of powdery mildew....thinking it would dissapear with surface exposure to the sun and heat.
It didn't and we lost several years of mellons and other similar vegetables.
I learned to water during the morning, and cut back plants so they had space.
This year there was less, and the zuckini finally survived.
Mildew is naturally occuring, but rather benine compared to other molds.
I've seen wet basements covered with black mold, the deadly stuff.
Spraying with weak bleach solution then covering it should do the trick.
