Default aphid plague on nasturtiums

i've found good old white oil with a few drops detergent does fine for
aphids. and using the hose attachment to dispense whatever you use sounds
like a great idea, spraying is probably the only way to grow the
nasturtiums. you might also want to sprinkle ant sand around the base, as
t5hat will prevent the ants bringing more aphids there.

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.




That's a good idea. Thanks
