Milk would be a bad idea. It's in the same category of things like cheese,
egg shells and meat scraps - the stuff you don't put in your compost pile
because they'll attract nuisance beasts.

Most of what I've read says that if you need to solve this problem
quickly,
use a liquid calcium supplement.

Hmmm. A thought just came to mind as I read this. Do you suppose
calcium suppliment tablets for people would work if disolved in water?
Or a quart of milk poured around the base of the plant?
