Default Help!! Mildew on my tomato plants.

I have always grown my tomato plants ina greenhouse but now i don't have one, I thought i would try growing a couple of bush toms in the conservatory. I have notice this last week that mildew has developed on the leaves. Anything I can do about it. Ogilvie

If it's not too bad sometimes removing lower leaves to let the air circulate can help. Also spraying overhead with water but making sure that the general humidity isn't too great can help.

Just been reading that apparently all mildews are initiated by stress and you can control and increase resistance with drenches of seaweed solution. Also maybe look for some fungicide to spray.

Many thanks for the suggestions. I'll give them a try. This variety always gets mildew but none of the rest do. This will be my last year for them. thanks again. Ogilvie
