You can save even more by not buying insecticides. Water sprayed
upwards under the leaves kills most bugs.

Well how about that! I'm sure all the experienced gardeners on here
will be grateful for that tip.

Excellent tip, so when I water with a lance why doesn't it kill off the
bugs. Why did my greenhouse suddenly get an infestation of Red Spider
Mite recently despite me using a watering lance.
Next you will tell me how to kill off bindweed without using chemicals.

A small nuclear device ground burst ought to do it...
