The boss told me to spray as soon as she saw White Fly and I only did it
once, thoroughly, and didn't have a problem thereafter. I would think
washing up liquid might work too.


We are having a terrible time in the greenhouses with whitefly this year,
never
had such a problem before. It's got to the point where I can't breathe
when I
am in there cos I choke!

Been chopping back the blighted tomatoes today. :-(
Looks like the minibels are doing worse than anything apart from the big
Italian
ones, probably cos they are low down, so the blightyness falls on them.


No white fly in our greenhouse but suddenly like someone waved a wand
everything seems to have Red Spider Mite, the banana looks terrible as does
the hibiscus, sprayed today and can only hope it's cured.
