A good solution to get rid of this powdery mildew is to make a solution of dry powered milk and spray your plants. This is a tip I learned at a Master Gardener class. It works!

What are the measurements for this solution? Powder vs water ratio?
I have read several articles on this. It is suggested to use 1 part milk to 8 parts water. If using powdered milk, to 9 cups water you would add the milk powder at the rate the package suggests to make 1 cup milk.
I have also read that more is not better. It is said that too strong a concentration of milk can cause the mildew to grow even more.
