Hi Everyone

I have some broad beans in my garden at the moment that seem to be
growing healthily enough, but they are covered in black aphids and ants.
Should I be worried about this? If it's a problem, what can I do about
it, given that I am doing my very best to garden organically?

Thanks

Adam

Broad beans always attract blackfly, it's a fact of life.

You don't need insecticide - A regular spray with a weak washing-up
liquid solution is all you need.
