Milk on the garden

I had some curdled light (fat-free) milk in the fridge - couldn't use it for my morning coffee, so chucked it on the rose - noticing the second flower today. Apparently milk has good antibacterial properties for gardens, and roses in particular, re-black spot.

Two helpful sites:

It's also good for tomatoes, preventing blossom end rot. It enriches soil health, and keeps aphids away. Who knew?!
