Bob - Wettable sulphur will be handy, I've used Systhane on the others and it's a bit pricey. I'll pm you for details. I'm trying to persuade some of the agrichemical distributors to sell me some larger quantities of useful chemicals for powdery/downy mildew, but not much success so far - no surprise when you don't want a truck-load.
Spud_t_b - I've not seen any other plots around here completely devoted to vines, but it's not agin the rules (I checked). I'm told there were some mumblings at the other end of the site that you "have to grow at least 6 different kinds of veg". Well, I've put some spuds and leeks in already as there's not going to be a great deal of vine happening this year. With a sprinkle of radishes and beetroot plus the odd courgette and bean and I'm completely in line . Longer term I guess they'll get used to it - nothing a few bottles given out won't fix though.
