We noticed this powdery substance on the zucchini and squash leaves, but didn't know what it was. We googled it and learned we had a FUNGUS! AGH! The chemical fungicides are everywhere, but we didn't want to go that route, so I started looking around online and found a great recipe:
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup water
Shake and then spray directly on leaves. I prefer to do this in the evening when the sun isn't shining brightly. I do this every 4-5 days and I only spray the leaves with the powder.
After two applications we are back in business! We have new growth and new veggies growing.
One website recommending breastmilk, but those days have long passed for me, so cow milk was their 2nd option.
