I,ve seen that advice about removing the tops to prevent black fly - but
when and how do you do it please?
many thanks in advance.

Broad Beans look like a war zone at the mo.


I use a 10% solution of Ecover washing up liquid - works a treat and is
plant based so pretty much an organic solution ;-)

On the basis that prevention is better than cure I always remove the tops
of broad beans, this seems to stop blackfly. I then eat them, no, no I
mean the broad bean tops! ;-)
