Fungicide - Homemade?

I need a nice cheap recipe for a homemade fungicide. This will be for my squash, tomatoes and rose bushes. I need a lot of it because I have a tone of roses. I've heard 1tsp baking soda/qt along with a few drops of dish soap to help the solution stick. I've also heard of garlic as an ingredient.  My squash always gets the powdery mildew and my roses are constantly infected with Blackspot. Anyone have experience with this?
 
Thank you! 
 
Just about the start using baking soda/neem for rose black spot, I'll see how she goes.
 
I believe it is the sulphur in garlic that gives it a bang against fungus.
 
Milk spray - 1 part milk, 10 part water.
 
Small sentences FTW? :D
 
Did any used the milk/water spray? I would like to know the results.
Also I ask myself (and you) if would work that, the water used to dilute the milk, to be already mixed with Hydrogen Peroxide.
 
I've used milk/water solution to combat powdery mildew with my zucchini. I mixed equals parts of each. It worked great. For me, it only took a single application to stop the powdery mildew from spreading to other leaves.

Kind of like mixing vinger and baking powder.
First of all, the H202 would be (partially) consumed disinfecting the milk instead of your rose bush. The higher pH of the milk (relative to a pure H202 solution) would increase the super oxide radical release rate and the extra radicals could also denaturalize milk protetins and sugars--which may effect the properties of the milk.

Oh, well, I never liked chemistry....
Thank you for the explanation. :P

I'll have to give this a try on my tomato leaves, thanks
