You can just use a drizzle of dish detergent and a tablespoon of veg oil in about a litre of water and shake. A (slightly) more detailed recipe is at http://hopefarmjournal.blogspot.com/2009/01/bean-and-tomato-mites.html<br />Cheers, ALALdrumhttp://hopefarmjournal.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677496750939268931.post-50894176286209353472009-04-26T13:43:00.000+10:002009-04-26T13:43:00.000+10:00Thanks everyone for the tip on soap spray.
When I ...Thanks everyone for the tip on soap spray.<br />When I wrote this post it was more of a throw away story than anything else, so I've found it surprising that it is such a widespread problem.<br /><br />Also can anyone give me a recipe and what kind of soap to use?<br /><br />Hi Rolley, thanks for your comment and the tip. I'll definitely look into it.My Veggie Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04171773502257337641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677496750939268931.post-5420760020614407332009-04-25T20:58:00.000+10:002009-04-25T20:58:00.000+10:00Yeah, lots of good tips there, I've heard the soap...Yeah, lots of good tips there, I've heard the soap sprays work well, and I personally have awesome success with exclusion bags (not for aphids though).<br /><br />Yet another option.. ya could try spraying with Neem Oil every week or so.. Last season mealy bugs wreaked havoc on my Arabica trees, ruining tons of cherries.. I've had 99% success this season keeping mealy bugs away and I'm sure it must be the Neem Oil because I haven't used any other control methods :-) <br /><br />Had a gawk at Eco Organic Garden? They sell the Neem Oil I use! http://www.ecoorganicgarden.com.au/product.php?id=4<br /><br />Rolley!Rollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08101008396166469404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677496750939268931.post-7129919739560905782009-04-25T19:40:00.000+10:002009-04-25T19:40:00.000+10:00Stewart these aphids have destroyed our brassica c...Stewart these aphids have destroyed our brassica crops in the past too. <br />They get into the heads of the brocoli and are very hard to get rid off. <br /><br />This year I am thinking of trying an exclusion bag or a soap spray.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677496750939268931.post-69373704204144475552009-04-25T09:52:00.000+10:002009-04-25T09:52:00.000+10:00Had the same on my cabbages, I pulled them all out...Had the same on my cabbages, I pulled them all out and will try agin....If it happens again I'll look into the soap spray...The Old Dairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10806470355969512482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677496750939268931.post-60079396787364660682009-04-24T12:43:00.000+10:002009-04-24T12:43:00.000+10:00You could just blast them with the hose if you don...You could just blast them with the hose if you don't want to use anything else but soap spray is good too.greenfumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08157970942128503098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677496750939268931.post-42188459321214582052009-04-24T12:29:00.000+10:002009-04-24T12:29:00.000+10:00IDK Stew....I woulda hit them with some soap spray...IDK Stew....I woulda hit them with some soap spray....it works really well.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12388745136047280126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677496750939268931.post-14072612476711965622009-04-24T11:38:00.000+10:002009-04-24T11:38:00.000+10:00I think your right tinaI think your right tinaMy Veggie Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04171773502257337641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677496750939268931.post-24731322693886364272009-04-24T11:28:00.000+10:002009-04-24T11:28:00.000+10:00I would've done the same thing but me thinks you f...I would've done the same thing but me thinks you feed the critters too well too!
