Thanks for alerting me to this home remedy. I'm definitely going to try it. Last year all my squash went down for the count in early September -- I thought due to the prolonged dry spell followed by torrential rains. Eventually, they dragged the zucchini down with them -- although the cukes managed to stay clear of it, only a few feet away. I also did not know zinnia were susceptible. Good info here. Thanks! p.s.
