We've had about 3 weeks of rain & the powdery mildew has bloomed
profusely on a row of a 100 Consort black currants.  Searching around,
it seems the number one organic control is spraying a dilute solution
of milk (which I'd like to try since I work for an organic milk
company..)   I see a number of recipes, 1 milk to 10 water.  Another
recipe says half & half. Some say use whole milk, some say use skim.
Does anyone have experience with this?

I'm also seeing in a number of other place to cut back the plants
below the investation & burn everything, which seems drastic. Seems to
be multiple conflicting schools of thought about this.
