that's an interesting comment ruth. did you ever do that with a foliar fertilizer spray like neptune's harvest when spraying waxy leaves like garlic and onions? it just rolls off like broccoli and cabbage so i wonder if it would help with alliums too?

i want to add that i have read to NEVER use anti-bacterial soap detergent as it kills beneficial bacteria on plants. i use dish detergent in fish milk spray to combat problems like powdery mildew on curcurbits and i spray tomatoes with it as an anti fungal. tomatoes and curcurbits seem to like milk.
