Hi - We have a new children's garden at our child care program and we planted sugar pumpkins. There is a powdery mildew on the leaves and stems. What fungicide can I use to get rid of this that would not be harmful to the children and also meet licensing regulations (we are not allowed to use pesticides).

Thanks so much,
Joyce

Mix some baking soda and water 3 T per gallon.
A 1 t corn or canola oil, spray on plants
That usually helps and its safe for the kids.
