If you can find a herd(well, a bunch)of lady bugs, or lady beetles, dont
know their scientific name and too lazy to look it up, but anyway
they just love aphids, and they will stay with the plants as long as
their favourite lunch is there...or my better half just said"tell her to
use the garlic spray" that has been posted here before, a week or so
ago. I am also in an apartment(which should really be called
"togetherments, instead of apart ments)(cause everybody lives in the
other guys back pocket)did I digress, again? Anyway the guy underneath
you would also be a little upset about the garden hose(might not like
the garlic either!)(tuff tooty)Try the garlic and/or the lady bugs, if
you can find some....did I not see a spam about them being available in
large numbers? or was it an ad in a magazine? Good luck with them,
Cheers, Doug in BC...if they were bigger, could we add habs to them &
cook em up??
