I gave the spray a shot. We've had a ton of rain and my squash got hit hard with early blight. No joke about being prepared for some to just die and shrivel up.
That is the very reason I urge the use of the bleach spray at the first sign of disease instead of waiting until the plants are wrapped up with disease. The earlier you use it the fewer leaves you will lose. As long as it is mixed correctly and applied correctly the healthy plant tissue seems unaffected by repeated use; but the sick parts will wither up and die.
