Aphids and soapy spray
"David in Normandy" wrote in message ... Yesterday for the first time I tried spraying a big lupin with warm water and washing up liquid. The plant was absolutely heaving with thousands of aphids and starting to look quite poorly and wilting. Today 99% of the aphids are black, shrivelled and dead. I'm really impressed how quick and effective it has been. I don't grow lupins because of the huge blue aphids which infested them when I did. There was a question on GQT about this yesterday. Someone said that they were big enough to barbecue - as kebabs. It amused me. Mary |
