Did you mean a BULB (which is the entire root system of garlic) or a CLOVE (which is just 1 part of a bulb)? I've only seen to add 1 clove.....
Gatorade is mostly sugar, which is an inflammatory, so maybe not such a good thing...
On the squash, I've been successfully treating mildew on them and many other things for a few years now by making a 10:1 water:raw milk mixture and spraying it on tops and bottoms of leaves once a week. My helper uses 1/2 gallon of the raw milk in 10 parts water to do my entire yard, flowers, herbs, and vegs, so you'd need a whole lot less, so not expensive.
I really liked the report on how the birds did. :))
I realized that about the Gatorade. I could have done a better job sourcing electrolytes. Especially since it was a zero sugar kind that Melissa was trying out. Ick!
How is it that raw milk is so SO useful and beneficial, and so hard for so many people to get? I'm going to do a 1:10 with the whey as a foliar spray now. I bet the trees will love it.

You can try Pedialite, which is unflavored and uncolored since it's made for young children, or make a homemade electrolyte solution from:
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
8 Tbsp. honey
1 gallon warm water
I haven't been online much in the last couple of days, so I missed your original post about the chickens being sick. I'm so sorry!
Love this homemade solution @goat-girlz. I usually add an antioxidant which we have for all our animals (not sure if you get such a thing on your side of the pond) And totally in agreement with @nateonsteemit for ACV and that good dose of garlic! Fabulous natural immune boosters and probiotics for super chickens!
@buckaroo! You're alive! :D
How's things?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Very much so. Just prefering silence in cyber world ;) Although I pop out an occasional post
Not sure the whey will work on the mildew, as I suspect it's the other components of milk that do the work. But you will have to let me know, if it does! My whey goes to the chickens....
