Garden fungus can quickly damage your plants and lawn, especially during the humid days of June. From powdery mildew on rose leaves to brown patch on turfgrass, fungal issues flourish in warm, damp conditions. But you can address these problems effectively using trusted formulations from Jerry Baker—crafted with common household items and a deep understanding of plant care. No need for harsh chemicals or guesswork.

Garden Fungus Treatments That Really Deliver
Garden fungus often arises from overwatering, poor air circulation, and excess humidity. When it strikes, use these time-tested Jerry Baker remedies to get things under control.

Lawn Formula to Combat Garden Fungus:
In a 20-gallon hose-end sprayer, combine:

  • 1 can beer (to stimulate beneficial microbes)
  • 1 cup mouthwash (to reduce fungal presence)
  • 1 cup dish soap (to help ingredients spread)
  • 1 cup ammonia (to promote green growth)
  • Fill the remainder with water and spray in the early morning.

This mixture helps suppress fungal growth and revives grass health by feeding the roots and increasing resilience.

Garden Fungus Prevention Plant Spray:

  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon dish soap
  • 1 gallon water
    Mist onto affected leaves once a week in the morning. The soda modifies the surface pH, which discourages fungal activity.

Garden Fungus Prevention Starts with Good Habits
To minimize the risk of fungal infections in June, apply these simple but important practices:

  • Water early. This gives foliage a chance to dry out before evening, when fungal spores thrive.
  • Thin and trim. Prune excess growth to enhance air circulation.
  • Mulch carefully. Use clean mulch to reduce soil splash, which spreads spores.
  • Boost soil life. Try Jerry’s Super Soil Soup (a blend of beer, baby shampoo, and ammonia) to support healthy roots and improve moisture management.

Conclusion:
You don’t need expensive solutions to tackle garden fungus in June—just a smart plan, some household ingredients, and Jerry Baker’s guidance. With these proven methods, you can protect your lawn and plants and keep your yard looking its best. Get out there this week and start reclaiming your green space from fungal threats.
