1 gallon water, 1/4 cup dry milk, fat pinch of epsom salt. My tomatoes love this. It won't kill the fungus, but it feeds calcium and helps the roots uptake potassium? from cold wet soil. Greens up everything you spray it on, within a few days you'll be amazed.
I forget who posted it here first, but they deserve the credit.
