Did anyone else read the article in yesterdays MoS financial paper
about-
the-
demise of the firm that makes PLJ lemon juice and that a buyer is
being
sought ?
The bit I found interesting was that it said that many gardeners spray
PLJ
on their tomato plants to combat botrytis mould......they claim that
the
acid kills off the spores !
Has anyone had any experience of this ? I don't have botrytis
problems
usually but I wondered if PLJ lemon juice would be effective against
White
Fly ?........I'm certainly going to give that one a try this year.
Opinions would be welcome.

I've never heard of the lemon juice cure (whatever the brandname), but
I
have read that diluted milk can be used (sprayed on, I imagine) to
combat
mildew. Worth a try?

Milk diluted one part to ten of water is a very effective control for
mildew i use it when the need presents itself, but it is imperative
that the milk used is skimmed. milk that is not skimmed has an
adverse effect because of the fat content.

Thanks for that clarification, Tom; I'd lost the exact recipe.
