Aphids

Marie from Kaiapoi

Hello gardeners, i put a glasshoues up last year and its been the best thing we have done we ate lettuce throughout the season had nice sweet tomatoes and i even grow a capsicum in there. But towards the end of summer i had Aphids and i tryed all sorts of thing ( teabags,chives,soapy water sparys) but nothing worked and they were everywhere all over the tomatoe leaves i ended up pulling what lettuce i had in there and went back to buying. So i have baby plants ready to plant in the glasshoues i just wondered if anyone had a workable tip for me


cheers everyone happy growing
