Sticky problem ...

This might be old news, but I'll share in case it is not.

I had a 'light' aphid infestation. I didn't want to spray and the buggers were hiding in the delicate leaves near the crown of the plant.

The solution that worked well - getting the aphids and not damaging the plant was 'magic tape'. Sticky tape that is used in offices to stick paper so that when you photcopy it can't be seen.

It is 'tacky' enough to stick to aphids but not to the plants:

Cool idea, I could see that helping. For a small problem it could be great. I don't know about an all out infestation.

Nip it in the bud - as it were ;o)

That's a lot less messy than what I am doing. Good work!

scratchzilla - I have to ask, what are you currently doing? :O)
