Here's a wild one----A friend who lives away up a canyon in Western Colorado asked me if I thought one could spray on a thick solution of

Hello,

If it stays on the leaves it would start breaking down, and create an acid surface, deterring fungus. Milk is often sprayed on roses to change to PH, making surfaces acidic, and keeping black spot at bay.

Milk is also used to encourage lichen growth on new stonework, making it look old.

I imagine that a "sticker" should be added to hold the milk on the leaves.

Not a bad experiment.

Later,
Tom
