Default White powder on pumkpkin leaves

g'day andrew,

powdery mildew, there is a recipe for using milk on my remedies page
(here in aus' now tv gardening shows aren't allowed to recommend using
natural products like milk anymore), i also found that good drainange
and growing the plants where they get plenty of air movement helps. it
doesn't necessarily mean you are going to lose the crop when i have
had it on zucchini i keep picking fruit until the plant gives out from
the effects of the mildew.
