Aphids

[Slug Hunter]

I usually cut off a handful of the older leaves from around the bottom of the Tomato plants(as ironically tomato leaves are toxic to aphids), chop them up finely, sometimes adding a clove of garlic also finely chopped, I then tie it all up in a small piece of muslin and put it in a bucket with about a litre of water and leave it overnight. It is then ready to spray. As Charles has pointed out predatory insects will generally keep the numbers down and I mainly use this spray for younger seedlings or larger gatherings.
