Ugg, just noticed aphids on my pea seedlings. Gonna try some soapy water to get them off. If that fails to work then I'm open for suggestions.

Awesome, think I'll go with this instead. I've knocked them all off so far. Will gather the ingredients and spray the little buggers after I get it ready. Thanks Cory!
Indeed I have found the ants in my raised bed. I tried your spray and it worked great at killing existing aphids. However, it doesn't act as a preventative. No biggie though, it is simple enough to mix up and as long as I stay on top of them, I think this will work fine. I prefer this route as I'd rather not spray harsh chemicals all over my plants.
