There has got to be something you can do to get rid of the powdery mildew. I have tried compost, mulch, and last year I put in some tomato cages to keep them off the ground. They had the most beautiful vines, some 5 feet tall, but when the fruit set all the vines died! I wish I could send a pic of the vines.

This article explains the why and prevention better than I can:

I don't like that it suggests chemicals to get rid of it. Theyvare terrible for the watershed and can harm pets and small children.
A better solution is a simple mix of 1 teaspoon to one quart of warm but not hot water, shake up in a clean spray bottle and spray down the plants in the cool of the morning.
Hope this helps!
You need to spray with a fungicide and remove all affected leaves before you spray.
