Mark,
    Unbelievable!  But, please let us know of your results. I just learned that in Brazil they have had N-fixing bacteria in some sugarcane varieties that they grow down there---for 20 years now!  I know sugarcane experts--PhD's--here who didn't know that. It's amazing how some things can be overlooked!

My wife read on the internet (so it must be true) that milk is effective
against powdery mildew on cucurbits. So there I was tonight, out spraying
the zukes with skim milk. 

I read of some trials using milk on fruit for controlling brown rot too,
with anecdotal evidence that it worked.  I haven't seen any real studies,
but it seems to go back to a 1999 study in Brazil.

Any opinions as to milk's effectiveness?
