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

plagued by it.


Would that work on vines, do you think?

I've never tried it myself, David, merely read about it. But it's worth a
try, mildew is mildew! As Nick says, it's harmless in itself so I'd do it
if I were you and let us know what happens.
