Hi

My broad beans have a very bad infestation of Black Fly.
I am finding it almost impossible to get any kind of pesticides from
Garden Centres etc.

Does any one have any idea what I can do please?

Some one on the allotment site swears by boiled Rhubarb water. Claims it to
be a good poison. If so any one know the mix please?

regards
Ged



My old neighbour from a long time ago, always sprayed the Broad Beans
with the used washing up water. She also claimed that the Autumn sown
Broad Beans were less liable to Black Fly.
