Hello Elise I love your channel. Q- does is have to be Cow's milk? How about Almond or other milks. So basically what is it on the milk that helps with mildew problem, thanks

Should I store the milk mixture in the refrigerator? How many times a week should I spray with it?

[michellewarner]

Will milk work for fungus that causes the edges of leaves to yellow/brown and curl up when white spots aren't present such as seen on squash plants?
