Mildew on courgettes
Moderators: KG Steve, Chantal, Tigger, peter
Apologies for this one - I raised the problem of mildew on courgette plants some time ago, and here I go again. Someone kindly said that they found spraying the plants with diluted milk helped, but I can't remember the details. I've searched the archive without success. If someone could give me that information again, I promise to keep a note this time!

Ken I found it on here! Posted July 17th 2009 by donedigging under powdery mildew.
1 part milk to 9 parts water, repeat every few days until clear.
I made a note to spray in my diary about it but didn't write down the dilution. I was hoping someone would just reply to your post so didn't bother searching - just being a lazy bones!

Well done, Westi - thank you for this! Good timing, too. I couldn't have sprayed yesterday as it rained all day. We got 18mm, virtually the same as we got for the whole of June, so it was very welcome, even though the forecast was saying we could get over 50mm.
