Seems the verdict's still out on whether milk actually kills it or just
inhibits the stuff, from what I've read, but I don't really know. At any
rate, my point was that one shouldn't expect any fungicide, organic or
synthetic, to cure a raging case of mildew. More effective to use it early
as a deterrent.
