What do I do to get rid of fungus? It started from my yellow squash plants but now its on soome of the pumpkin leaves. Is there a do it yourself method? I'd like to keep my garden organic if possible.

Organic? Mix 1 cup of milk with 9 cups of water and spray all over the leaves and undersides of leaves...this is suposed to kill powdery mildew spores and prevent new spores from growing.....also increases plants ability to defend against various other fungi.....G

Yo Glenn,
I read that sour milk is best..and yoghurt..but tends to be a bit lumpy...could always put it on with a catapult. lol lol

Why a question mrk after organic? Anyway, I said the heck with it and went out and bought some Bonide copper and Daconil. I started with the Bonide and will see how that goes. I was afraid the milk would bring on the bugs! I finally have my major ant problem under control. I don't want to be inviting them back. Thanks.
