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.


Would that work on vines, do you think?


At my last house I had a vine and I sprayed it with Vitax against
mildew, it worked very well.


What's the active ingredient in Vitax?

I can't remember David, it is 9 years since we had a vine.
