Pesticide Question
 

Can anyone recommend a concentrated "natural" bug spray? I've had good
succes with the Schultz product but can't find it in a concentrate. I
need it for ahpids, etc in my vegetable garden and would like to avoid
malathion or the like if possible.

Thanks, G

I would suggest that you look into safers:

I got a quart of concentrate at Fred Meyers. It lasts forever and works
great. Good luck

Depending on lots of factors, aphids are sometimes just a temporary problem.
You might find that blasting them off the plants with a hose spray achieves
your purpose. Ladybugs also handle aphids the way my teenage son handles a
bag of potato chips. You can order ladybugs from various garden sources. Try
www.burpee.com. If they don't sell them, email customer service and ask for
some advice.

Here is what I use
http://www.territorial-seed.com/stor..._P4388C300.cfm
It works really good on all types of insects. They also have the 8oz. size.
It is on the high end of the scale of "safe products" On a scale of 1-10,
10 being the harshest, its a 9.
