hi group, does anyone use reasonably non-toxic treatments for aphids?
thanks
any advice.


A squirt of the garden hose. Knocks them off.


A temporary solution that needs to be repeated frequently. Insecticidal
soaps made from dish soap or commercially purchased such as:

Also investigate the possibility of beneficial insects in your area.
