Gardening with Milk

Use it to replace expensive store-bought pesticides to treat powdery mildew on your plants and veges!
  • Make a solution of one part skim milk to nine parts water and spray it thoroughly on your plants weekly until mildew is gone.
  • There is an added bonus of the milk acting as a foliar fertilizer boosting the plant's immune system due to the amino acids found in the milk!
  • This treatment has been found so effective that New Zealand vintners are beginning experiments using milk to treat their grape vines!
