I noticed some mildew on daughter gooseberry, it's either Pax or Hinnonmaki. Is there a "natural" I can use please. I think the berries were affected too.

I use a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in a litre of water.  Spray every few days until no further signs of powdery mildew.  I hasten to add that I don't grow Gooseberries but this solution works on other edibles.  Good luck.

Wierdly milk will as well..... full-fat, diluted about 10:1.

Thanks folks. I thought it might be milk. Pity rice milk won' do the job. Off to the Co-op soon ;D.

bicarb works well with a tabelspoon of corn oil - it helps the mix stick and spread.

Use full fat milk and dont worry if the batch is 'going off' it will actually work better.
