I had been avoiding subbing to the gardens & gardening list because of the
high traffic, but finally did just in time to read someone's post that raw
milk is best.  I haed already bought  whole pasteurized milk (with vit d).
In two days it has reduced the mildew by about 50%.  The rest seems to be
stubborn but I'm keeping at it.  I'll check next time I'm at Fred Meyer to
see if they have raw milk.  Thanks, Margaret.

Buddleia update:  He has teeny little buds!  Guess he wasn't traumatized as
much as I thought.
