I could be tempted to use (Shhhh! EC spies might be listening!) the
juice from boiled rhubarb leaves to spray the aphids with.
A-ha, I was discussing this with someone yesterday! We both had
vague ideas that there was /something/ I could do with the rhubarb
leaves (other than remembering not to feed it to the chickens!!)!
While we're on the subject, note that EC regs now make it a criminal
offence to water garden plants if one's tap water tests between pH 3.57
and pH 7.92; the potential penalty is a fine of up to 7,000 euro or up
to eighteen months' imprisonment. House plants are exempt pending a
decision of the European Court of Human Rights. The collection of
rainwater is to be banned altogether from 1 July 2010.
This is April 1st in the Lylian calendar, yes?
