My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

another powdery mildew question...

19 years ago

My lilac, like every other lilac in area will get PM this season..It is over 30 years old and seems to handle it OK..

My question is..I've always wanted to do a shade garden under it..is this wise? My 1st thought is "No.. you idiot..it will just give the PM more things to attack"

but will it..

From reading everything I can about PM (in this forum and links) I understand about causes, treatments, things like that better than I did...but can't find the specific answer..I suppose I'd try resistant plants..but is there really such a thing..
