Powdery mildew of the sage

-
Image
  Powdery mildew or white sickness is a cryptogamic disease, that is of fungal origin, which can affect sage plants and occurs on the leaves. This is the most frequent pathology among those that can affect this aromatic herb and occurs in particular with mild temperatures and high humidity. It is a very simple disease to identify: because the white patches that are seen on the leaves of the sage are very characteristic. A reader of Orto Da Coltivare, Barbara, asks me exactly what her plant can have, describing the symptoms of powdery mildew. I answer publicly because I think it may be useful for many to know how to defend themselves from this problem with natural methods and above all how to prevent it. Recognizing powdery mildew on sage Those who cultivate the vegetable garden will already know powdery mildew because it is a frequent pathology also on other cultivated plants, in particular on pumpkin and courgette. Powdery mildew is also called white sickness precisely because it work

Fermented garlic: what black garlic is, how it is prepared and how to use it

-

Fermented garlic, Is there kiss-proof garlic? The answer is yes and it is called black garlic: garlic with a delicate flavour and an incredible nutritional profile, created a few years ago in Korea through an oxidation and fermentation process. Let’s find out what black garlic is, how it is produced and how to use this particular ingredient in the kitchen. A niche product but destined to be talked about, fermented garlic is a very young ingredient, born in Korea in 2004 and soon spread to Europe and the United States.
