Hello,

I want to thank the person who suggested a milk spray (1 part milk to 9  
parts water) for powdery mildew.

The apple I am using it on is very suseptible, and is recvering after a  
number of sprays.  This particular tree (court pendu plat) is my only tree  
that has a PM sensitivity.  It had not put on new seasonal growth until a  
fes milk sprays had occurred.

I am not organic, but every time I water the lawn the tree gets  
hit/rinsed, which requires re-application, and I do not want to spray  
dhemical fungicides that often.  I try to be careful not to hit the tree  
with sprinklers, but we have a backyard BBQ coming up and my wife wants  
the lawn green and soft.

Does not appear that you can spray too much milk. I am spraying every 3  
days or so, or after the tree is hit by sprinklers.

Sure is nice to spray something that works, that you do not have to be  
afraid of.

Thanks,
Tom
