I recently moved two of my crepe myrtles from a shady bed in front of my house to a very sunny spot out in the front yard.

Previously they had been plagued by powdery mildew that was not helped by anything...Is there any reason to believe that the direct sunlight will take care of the mildew?

Well they DO tend to be healthier overall in full sun.

For any mildew or fungus, I normally turn to corn meal, and if that doesn't do it, to baking soda.

Next question...a couple days after moving them the existing leaves turned brown and crispy...Game Over? or is that normal?
