I wonder if it is that? Especially bad in humidity. Copper spray (which is considered organic) is worth a try.

As far as whether berry canes will root....seems they are a good bet, as long as the soil is kept moist until they do so.

Not a wise one...just a guy who like dirty hands and feet all spring/summer/fall long!!!
