Just use a hose and blast them off or a soap spray


A soap spray would probably be difficult, because of all the leaves, and
with so many aphids under the leaves.

How about buying one of those hose-end things that you put chemical sprays
into, and dispense the soap spray from there? It certainly would be fast. I
don't have a good recipe for the soap spray, but someone here probably does.
Or, Safers Insecticidal Soap.
