We use the Eco-Smart line of pesticides and fungicides. http://nycgardening.blogspot.com/2010/10/organic-weed-killer-and-fungicide.html Because it's organic, it doesn't work as well as the synthetic chemical stuff, so you do have to spray plants more often. We do it like twice or 3 times a week. This year, we are also trying this brand.
