Just a day or so ago I read that 50/50 milk and water can be sprayed on
gooseberries to counteract mildew. I'd never heard of that before but Ray
says he has a faint memory of it. Might be worth a try for those who are
plagued by it.

It is also supposed to work as a spray on roses that get mildew (such as
Dorothy Perkins)
