Hi from Thailand

Hi all,

Been looking up Chilli forums and found this site. I am British, but living in Thailand. Just started growing some peppers this year and am looking forward to trying them. What I have growing so far are:

• Reapers
• Red & Yellow Habeneros
• Bhut Jolokia
• Paper Lantern
• Serranos
• Jalepenos
• Alleppos

Hi, please forgive my lack of knowledge, but what is a Glog?

[Edit] Sorry, found the Glog section, so now know its a Growing Log. Pays to look around a bit before asking the question I guess

Thanks! I am a total newbie, and this is my first time growing, with quite a few problems so far that I am trying to work my way through.
First major issue is with wooly aphids, which I am trying to get rid of though they are persistent little buggers.
At the moment I have tried Neem oil with little success, then a mixture of water, washing up liquid, baking soda, and chilli oil which was recommended on a Thai forum. Still waiting to see if that gets them.

Is your grow area enclosed and do you have access to a lot of lady bugs from a hydroponics grow shop?

My grow area is just in my garden, not enclosed, though I do have some sun netting over the plants. Lady bugs are available here, and I bought a bunch a week or so ago, but they pretty much all flew off when I put them with the plants.

Below is what I have been facing:
