Default Mildew on peas?

Any solutions to avoid repeat performance, please ?


I found the best way to grow vegetables is hydroponics, and the best
intro
to hydroponics is Sutherlands' "Hydroponic for Everyone".
http://www.greenweb.com.au/hyland/ht..._everyone.html

Even if you never plan to use hydroponics, it teaches you about what

plants
need to grow. eg plants need water/nutrients but how can you ensure

they
get the right amounts?

I just use non-recycling systems (ie no pumps) and use Miracle Gro as

a
hydroponic solution. I have a self-watering box planter with snow peas
growing up stair railings. In the spare room (facing north) I'm

growing
capsicums, coriander, and flower seedling ready for spring.

How would growing hydroponically deal with the issue of mildew?
