I had a squash plant that has white powdery mildew on it's leaves, so i tore it out of the garden. However, now, all the other plants that were near the original squash plant are also getting this white coating on their leaves. Other than destroy everything, what can i do?

hey emking, Air circulation or moisture is where I would begin, and it seems with a large squash plant now out of the picture the others might just have a chance. Watch your water and look at the bigger area and decide if there is enough air moving or if others might need to be thining... Post a few photos of the area and of the effected leaves, shouldn't be to hard to figure out :—‚)*

Thank you! I've done a little more research and hopefully i can make the recommended fungicide. It's not an air circulation problem as this little squash is pretty much all on it's own in terms of space. I ripped it out and hope that my bean plants won't get any worse. Thanks again!
