This stuff is very good. My garden had a serious infestation of Leaf spot on peppers and early blight and leaf spot on tomato leaves and fruit and some other wilt fungus. Leaves and blossoms were falling off and it was one week from being wiped out. I did not want to use any synthetic stuff or Micky Mouse baking soda solutions on my organic veggies so I took a chance with a bacterial brew to wage some bio warfare on the fungi and bacteria. I mixed a bit over 1/2 cup per gallon and doused everything before sunset. Seven days later the leaves that were already infested dropped off and the plants visibly perked up and virtually no new leaves show leaf spot on the peppers (maybe 3%). The tomato fruit is now blemish free and the blight or the wilt is greatly suppressed but not completely eliminated. I cannot complain about this only after one treatment when I expected almost total loss and started fighting this too late. Nip it in the bud as soon as the first signs show. It is very likely that i did not achieve 100% coverage with the spray and it rained 2 days later after application. I put it on 7 days later again (today) so I will see if the peppers will set some fruit again that will hold.
Lots of people complain about the smell so I expected serious stench but it actually smells with a slightly musty and strong yeasty smell which is not bad at all. After spraying the garden smells like a brewery.
I would definitely recommend this. Yes, it is not cheap but I weight it against the outrageous prices of fresh organic produce and ever declining purchasing power of our TP currency.
I am also looking into the Actinovate fungicide and will try it out.
I also wonder if the bacteria could be multiplied using something along the lines of aerated compost tea with some nutrients and Molasses. I imagine that is how it is produced commercially.

Natural Fungicide With Mixed Results
I purchased this Serenade Garden Disease Control Effective Organic Fungicide specifically for use on my rare Hungarian Balaton Cherry tree. This year, this Balaton Cherry Tree has been plagued with Cherry Leaf Spot, caused by the fungus Blumeriella jaapii.I freaked, because these specific cherry trees are almost impossible to find. I had already lost one due to an organic insecticide that proved too harsh, and this remaining Balaton was even more precious to me.I purchased this Serenade Garden Organic Fungicide to fight this fungus naturally with no chemicals.I refuse to use chemicals on my trees and flowers, as I am ever mindful of the long lasting damage these harsh synthetic chemicals do to the environment. I also am particularly concerned about my huge hummingbird population. I live in a prime nesting area for the hummers, and have carefully protecting these bright little birds from anything that could possibly harm them.This Balaton Cherry Tree is a favored perch for my hummers. They use it to be close to my many feeders, and when I sought out a spray to use on the tree, I made sure I would find a product that would not hurt them.The Serenade Garden Organic Fungicide arrived in a generously sized bottle, and the contents mix easily with water. The spray has a strong, "yeasty" type smell.Although not pleasant, the smell isn't a problem. The problem is after repeated applications of the spray according to directions to my Cherry Tree, the yellow and spotted leaves are continuing to blight and fall off.This Serenade Garden Organic Fungicide has helped but not prevented or eradicated the fungus. More spots and more yellow leaves continue, with leaf drop. I do feel the Serenade Garden Organic Fungicide has helped to somewhat control the fungus, but it seems to be merely slowing it down.On a happy note, I stay next to the tree until it is fully dry, and my hummingbirds are not harmed or deterred from using the cherry tree. And the dreaded Japanese beetles do not land on the cherry tree's uppermost branches to feed and reproduce.I am continuing to use this Serenade Garden Organic Fungicide in hopes that at least it will slow the spread of the fungus. I just wish the spray had eradicated it.
