Help! I brought in my tobasco plant so it would finish up the peppers
it finally started producing before the cold weather got here, and now I
have aphids on it. What can I do to kill the little buggers that won't
involve chemical pesticides?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try 1/2 to 1 tbsp if cheap liquid dishsoap in a gal of water, Spray plants
and allow to dry, then ~~ a lesson I learned the hard way~~ Rinse the
plants off, to get the soap off~~
Soap DO NOT use antibacterial or concentrated (right Riley)
I my house I had to spray every 4 or 5 days for about 6 weeks, Till the
ground outside froze solid.
Those SOB's will find away in.
Ladybugs will disappear, tried that.
If you give up on the soap, and try a pesticide make damn sure it is listed
or housplants or inside use.
