      You could try spraying it, but its quite often down to dry conditions.

      I was told that household bicarbonate of soda in water could do the trick. Have you heard of this before by any chance?

      No but I doubt it would hurt.
      Speaking to an orchard manager the other day, and he said for mildew you need to raise the ph, which is probably what bi carb would do.

      Ok I will give it a go. Thanks for all your advise. I'm new to all this, so never sure what's the right thing to do.
