Spring is nearly sprung

Greetings, "Aunty Kreist" wrote in message ... Know what I found helps really well, especially with getting rid of aphids? About a tablespoon of dish soap, mixed with water in a spritzer, spray the plants- it doesn't hurt the plant, but deters bugs. I had heard of this but had never tried it, I would just spray with the water hose and it would take a couple of days for the little aphids to show up again. I think someone else suggested growing mint plants near rose bushes and the mints kept away some insect pests, but I can't vow for the accuracy of this. Anyone else tried it? I should try the dish soap/water spritzer concoction on my herbs as well. See if it helps them too. I've also heard about shaking on some garlic powder on certain herbs and veggies to deter some animal pests (ex: bunnies) from munching on them. Ciao, Kethera Try spraying dish soap on herbs? What exactly do you use the herbs for? Psst, want a little soap with your basil? I'll bet that dish soap tastes great in tomato sauce. - theoneflasehaddock |
