A simple question for all of you CH's. I've got some garden salsa
peppers with a pretty heavy infestation of aphids. I've tried spraying
them with a commercial spray with limited success. It kills them off the
day you spray them but the next day, more arrive. I don't like spraying
the plants daily with this insecticide so I'm going to start spraying
with soap & water daily instead. If anyone can tell me the optimal
mixture to use I would appreciate it. Having never used the soap/water
trick before I'm not sure how many parts soap/water to use.

Thanks for answering the obviously novice question!
