I've just read about using Camomile Tea in James Wong's homegrown revolution.  Have yet to try it but it is said to work on any moulds and mildews.  Will be trying it on a seedling that's developing some mould around the soil.  Also said to be good for prevention if used once a week...

I have heard that liquid made from hores/mares tails as per rhubarb leaves works.

Cheers,   Tony.
