My Salvia plants are being plagued with aphids.
This has been going on and of for about four months.

I tried to get rid of them by hand checking the plants every day I think about it.
When this did not help I decided to spray them with urine. This helped but it also give quite a blow to the plants.
Now they are back again always looking for a position under the yougest leefs in the top of the plants.

What is a good biological way to get rid of aphids ?

vinegar, water, crushed peppers and crushed garlic in a spray bottle, add a small amount of neem oil if you can find it. this has kept aphids, grasshoppers and spider mites out of my garden for years.

hope this helps
The problem with wisdom is that it cannot be taught, but ignorance can.

"biological" ? lady bugs


Many sprays will be more effective than urine, neem, pyrythiums, fatty acids of potassium(insecticidal soap), etc
