[Growwine] vidal

[Steve Melchiskey]

We had downy in a small part of our vineyard last year that attacked  
the tendrils first, then spread to leaves, shoots and grapes. My  
suggestion is to cut it out now, all of it, anything that is white  
looking and take it far out of the vineyard and destroy it. keep  
doing t his all season and continue spraying (we are organic, so we  
used copper and various other solutions). This kind of sanitation is  
key to keeping the spread limited.
best,
steve
