I'm curious what the outcome was? My mom once used a bleach solution on a rose as a fungicide and it cleared it up. I had another friend who said the disease is not the problem it's the soil and when his roses yellowed and got brown spots he gave them bone meal and magnesium. The roses greened up and the bacteria went away. At the time I thought the disease was cured by his fertility solution but later I observed it was July when it quits raining here. Then it made much more sense to me understanding the disease thrives in moist environments He probably used that solution for 20 years and I must admit bone meal sure makes beautiful flowers and magnesium is naturally deficient here so it makes foliage green so he was at least partly correct . I use captan as my fungicide because it's inexpensive and it works. This post was edited by ClarkinKS on Mon, Jan 27, 14 at 7:05

Keep in mind that when vinegar is used as a herbicide, the contentration is fairly high, and you're supposed to use it when the sun is out. Many things that are fine or even good for plants are toxic at high conentrations. I've given a fair amount of vinegar to shaded weeds, and they were fine (they didn't even flinch). I imagine a little calcium acetate on the plant isn't going to hurt it. Fertilizer foliar sprays generally aren't done when the sun is out, and the concentration is very low. So, you're unlikely to kill the plant, unless you use the wrong ratio of fertilizer to water and/or apply it in the sun.

States Ban Phosphate-Laden Dishwasher Soap July 2011 started a ban in sixteen states of the sale of dishwasher detergents that contain high levels of phosphates, a source of pollution in lakes and streams. Stores will not be allowed to sell detergent with more than 0.5 percent phosphorous. The bans do not apply to commercial dishwashing products, and detergents for hand-washing dishes generally contain no phosphorus. States instituting the rule include Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. One major cause of problems in dishwashers and cloths washers is most people use way too much detergent, more is NOT better. In a dishwasher fill the cup half way and use Cascade Complete liquid. Powder does not dissolve as well and be sure your rinse agent (JetDry) is full. If you are using a HE cloths washer use 2 tablespoons of 2X HE detergent. If you have a mildew smell in your front load washer then that is soap buildup, use a cup of white vinegar on its hottest or "tub clean" cycle to clean it. DO NOT mix bleach in your dishwasher! A posted comment:"my black dishes are white and my glass dishes are dirty looking " Try soaking them in CLR, if that does not work then they are permanently etched and there is nothing you can do. A posted comment:"I occasionally use Brillo to clean my white dishes" Noooooooo no no, you are scratching your dishes making them worse. Never use Brillo pads or Comet type cleaners on anything except stainless steel and that is not even necessary. If you do use one of these products on stainless than only rub with the grain, if you rub cross grain than you will permanently scratch the surface giving it an old warn out look.

I buy it by the gallon also. My mom use to use it all the time, but me being of the 60's generation or maybe I was just not smart back in the day abandoned vinegar and used store bought cleaners and such that my mom used vinegar for. I came back full circle when I got wiser, in my mid thirties..I think that is when I realized mom wasn't so dumb after all. LOL
