Thank you very much for that information, Larry. That is a pretty intense regiment, but if it works that's great! I am not averse to using chemicals that are not organic if they work, but oh my, the prices of some of those systemic fungicides scares me. I never gave any thought to rotating chemicals. We certainly don't want the fungus to develop a resistance.
I didn't think about adding dish washing soap to the neem oil, but it certainly makes sense.
I don't have very much rust showing at this time, just saw a few spots. But I guess I was getting paranoid already because of how bad it looked last July. I was hoping to avoid getting into that situation this year. I will have to check with some fellow daylily folks to see if they are having any problems. One of my neighbors has over 1000 daylilies, but we have never discussed rust. I'll have to ask her.
Thanks for the link, Glen. Michele rotates the chemicals too and has some good advice about cleaning up debris and getting rid of rust buckets. I already have a few that I think I will have to get rid of.
