The vinegar completely removed the powdery mildew in some places. The lower area where it washed off shows the damage it does to the leaf. There's still white mildew on the upper end of the leaf but hopefully its dead or disabled. It seems like it really works ! Although I'm unsure if the acidity might have an unseen effect on the health of the leaves or the pumpkin. The vinegar was diluted to about a mild taste. So... more precisely the hose end sprayer I put the vinegar might mix stuff 20 to 1, or maybe 15 to one at most. The exact mix depends on the water pressure at the nozzle, which varies depending on the length of the hose and how filled the pressure tank is. So thats why I cant know anything with exact precision.
