Plants can be grown without soil (scientists have developed a gel-like substance that can sustain plants), but not in milk. Plants need both the nutrients of water and decomposing organic matter as well as a supportive structure for the roots, which milk cannot provide. You can grow bacteria in milk, but that's about it.
