Our pretty chrysanthemums had been infested by aphids and only two plants
were salvaged. I didn’t want to use carbaryl and so this was a great tip.
Thank you.
also, how often do you treat the plants? every 2 weeks?
thanks
Greetings from Florida! what about full sized spiders, mosquitos, and
worms?
Can I prune off the a few leaves, and spray the others
?
Spider mites like it dry, so using soap will make it nice for them. Its
probably more likely to be the coconut OIL that is having the effect my
friend, not the soap, so either you knew that or you are lucky with buying
a coconut oil blend of washing soap.
What i dont understand is using coconut oil to wash dishes, very strange.
;-)
I have always done this and it works …. I also spray my fruit trees with
vinegar and water and it is a good recipe…. so I share …

Would this work if I poured my mixture into the soil to kill the root
aphids as my leaves don’t seem to have caught it early. Thanks
Tor Rraulovereh,
THANK YOU for mentioning an NEGATIVE impact of NEEM , namely that it kills
bees. Looks like Fate decided I should NOT have a Neem tree. It died when
I re-potted it recently. I will be setting up a beehive in the near future.
Bees are Beautiful and a real Buzzz ;-0
I don’t know what liquid may over kill insects, so that it can’t
reproduce？？？？？？my GOD
I wonder if you can use any soap for this. Reason being, I make my own soap.
Neem works great with this. Thanks for mentioning that. My wife uses just
straight neem oil. I found the soapy water works better for me and that I
haven’t had to use neem with it. But it certainly can’t hurt.
No offense, but she’s clearly implying she sparys it in on the plants the
same way you do, and she’s never heard of using soap to spray on them
instead…
I would like to know that as well. Please tell. 🙂
I actually use Rubbing Alcohol in my mix. The container you have fill with
water then add 3-4 Tablespoon liquid soap Then 1-2 Tablespoons of rubbing
alcohol. Cap and shake and spray! Works awesome on aphids and even better
on killing caterpillars (even in the cocoon) and most bugs with soft
bodies. I need to try it on slugs!! It literally dries out the bugs. Now,
why did you cut the tops off your onions on your garden???? We want to
know!! 🙂
I’m having the exact same problem with my cukes and peppers. Tomatoes are
right next to them and no problems with the tomatos. I do have marigolds
planted in with the tomato plants. I was thinking I should add a marigold
in with the cukes. I hope someone answers you.
The silver water generated with the CollGen2® is used world wide as a
wonderful insecticide, anti fungal, anti-fleas on animals, anti-everything
that is bad. Collgen is used by NASA. Don’t forget to make gallons of it.
The soapy water permeates and unlike water it completely covers the bugs
causing them to suffocate or drown.
You should get a lady bug farm. Throw up a few of them in the garden and
you’ll be good to go.
You just put it on a cotton ball or soft cloth and wipe it on the leaves,
You can even put it on the soil and plant for mold or the flies. you can
use it at full strength (I did) or you can dilute it a bit if you are not
sure. I have been using it and it seems to be working great on the spider
mites. It dries them out quick and kills them fast.
Please tell me about how to use the alcohol.
I look for bugs almost every day. I spray when I see them. Right now, in
Spring, it seems every two weeks is what is needed. But in the summer,
winter or fall almost never.
must be nice , the only thing in gardens this far north is melt water so
far , and it turns back to ice overnight , sigh…
