I've got a case of mildew that was on the leaves & stems of my gourds. I pruned out all the infected leaves, but the stems still have the mildew. What I need now is something that can help get rid of the mildew that is there now. Any ideas?

I used baking soda, vegetable oil and water in equal proportions (then diluted) to protect the good leaves. This remedy was from "eyes". But, I don't think this recipe works on the mildew that's already there.

Please help! The other plants are thriving, but if the mildew reaches them, they'll soon be gone, too :(

A couple of months ago, Wintermoor suggested 1 part of milk to 9 parts of water for roses that have mildew. I tried it, and it worked very well. You may give that a try and see what happens. Just mix and spray in on.

Thanks, Dguimo! Wintermoor contacted me with his recipe & I've just started using it yesterday. Time will tell... Thanks so much for taking the time to respond :)
