The "in" spray for downy and powdery mildew in Oz is milk. Dilute ten to one with rain water and spray as one would any such spray. Is proving more effective than chemical fungicides, with no apparent side effects. It is being used commercially and in home gardens. Can be full cream or fat reduced, fresh or powdered.
