Ahhh, we love dahlias! Don’t remember pm on any, or sunflowers, which we like even more. Thanks for reminding me, but like I said, I’m getting the whole yard, lol!
You gonna break in at night?

I was just going to ninja it by going in there and cutting off some leaves to put in a plastic bag. I wonder if that counts as stealing?

This post is for @420noob and @CocoaCoir so they can see whats up. I’m testing the spread of 4.5 meters, but the mildew ain’t making it across that gap in a single year. 15 years and it still hasn’t made it over a 6 meter gap.
You see how simple observations work? I can disprove any thesis with a simple observation.

Yep go rub your your infected one or let your dog run through it or walk through it the go do the same to the other see if it’s spreads.

Actually there has never been a protocol to prevent the spread, except keep them apart. The dog and humans run through the patches. I also tested anaerobic decomposition of mildew infested material it didn’t infest either. Literally decomposed a mildew infested pumpkin plant and fed it to an uninfected squash plant. Additionally, I can plant the host plants in one area, and have them grow up without infection, and plant the host plant in a contaminated area and have it gauranteed come down with powdery mildew.
I can easily spread the powdery mildew. First I take an infected leaf, or plant, and put it next to a clean one.

Ok so take a leaf infected break it off and drop it on the healthy. You kjow how strong winds or leaf stealing rabbit could do that as well. So plant material on plant material.

Good theory, except there’s no evidence of that. Here’s the evidence I have though. The last mildew infestation was brought in on infected calla lilies from wal mart. All plants that were hosts within 2 meters got a case of the mildew. It spread from host to host until the infestation was complete. I disinfected the host plants this year, so the calla lilies were clean. If I let those host plants be placed around the garden before the colony was destroyed, the area around them would be infested for 2 years with no host before the colony dies out.
That would have spread the mildew over the 6 meter gap.

I collect powdery mildew in a jar and softly shake it out when in a forested area. Like a Parmesan cheese shaker.

And it never spreads any where when that happens right.
Ok again in your specific area and situation these things didn’t happen not calling you a liar hell I probably believe it. Now to say that this is an absolute truth is something you can’t do. Have you tried it in England, Indonesia, Russia,china , south America to prove that none of the things I said can’t and won’t happen their is just…

It goes well on breakfast cereal as a sugar substitute. But you can’t eat it halfway past the expiry date.
Yes, by that logic I can’t eliminate the possibility of purple geese, but the thing is in order to say there is a purple goose you have to have evidence it exists. I’m going with the evidence.

Please stop @ing me as I don’t like to discuss with people who already know the answer and are fitting everything they see to fit within that.

You are looking in the mirror when you said that, right? LOL!
So using the internet to search for information is wrong hmm.
Then where you just being a dick to this guy or online is good for info except when it contradicts you.
Then.
Shouldn’t be that difficult it’s no more than 20 ft away according to you.
Oh so contaminated material can be moved and transfer on to other no infected material. Oh but wait you didn’t observe this in your experiment so that can’t be the case🤔.
Then the endless of people who have never taken a clone but still get pm are wrong. They either didn’t have pm or took a clone they just aren’t sure?
