Hey Everyone, long tome to talk.... Well, I have been eagerly been waiting to update my grow log, but was seriously infested with aphids. I tried everything I could to get rid of them. I even moved half of my garden to a friends place who is growing peppers also, and he didnt have an aphid problem. I killed all of the ahpids but they came back here at my place and not his. So, I guess that is a positive.
Back to my question, in all of my battles this year. All of my choco hab plants were hit the worst. There would literally be hundreds of aphids on the hab, but not one on the jolokia right next to it. It actually got to the point that I would have to check my choco habs first for aphids to try to fend them off.
Do aphids actually prefer one plant over another according to type? Anyone else notice this? Is there anything POSSIBLE to prevent aphids rather than just kill them? I had marigolds and they did nothing. Thanks all!
