          I've thought about milk before but just assumed it would encourage mould. Am very surprised to hear it is fungicidal. Keen to give this method a go.

                  How did this method work out for you Gary? Was everything OK going forward?

                    nope, the bugs disappeared for a few days but came back, so i got some neems an started useing that, think must have been a lot of eggs in the soil mix. hopefully got it under control for now.

                      Cool. No sign of mould from the milk spray though? Like Saturnalia I think that's my chief concern here.

                        haven't noticed any new mold, i had to pick some of the lower leaves that were moldy, but they were touching the dirt, so i don't think it was the milk mixture.

                          Milk and molasses sounds promising. Never tried that mix before but a little bit cautious. Is it really worth it?
