Thanks Carbonel11! I feel affirmed in my organic madness. Eristic: I don't use the milk as a fertiliser, but as something which fights fungal problems like blight. For fertilising, I use comfrey tea.
Guys I'm really sorry if my little potions have annoyed people. I guess everyone does things differently.
The Jamaican link describes milk as a 'plant food'. You're using it as an anti-fungal so not sure what has been affirmed? ???
Yes, aware of it's use against mildew. Not blight.
There have been a number of explanations for the actionof milk, including the anti-fungal action of the fatty acids,the production of free radicals when exposed to UV lightor the creation of osmotic imbalance due to salts andother components. Bettiol (1999) suggested that milk mayhave a direct effect on the fungus or may induce systemicresistance to powdery mildew in zucchini. There is alsoevidence that exposure of milk to the ultraviolet radiation insunlight results in the photogeneration of superoxide anions(Korycha-Dahl and Richardson 1978) and oxygen radicalsthat interfere with the cell membranes of Phytophthorainfestans (Jordan et al. 1992).
Thanks I get the message. I'll leave you guys to it. I'm clearly not welcome here.
