Powdery mildews — what can you do?
Destroy fallen infected leaves in fall; do not over-feed, and protect from drought (stress invites powdery mildew). Prune out infected shoots early and destroy fallen leaves.
Honey fungus — what can you do?
Choose species that honey fungus rarely attacks (e.g. Vaccinium). A deep barrier (17¾ in) of rubber sheeting in the soil blocks the bootlaces; regular deep cultivation breaks them.
