You can buy them at garden centres. <BR/><BR/>For a home-made organic remedy, soap spray should work, but you could beer it up by making garlic/chilli spray, which includes a bit of soap:<BR/><BR/>To make it, boil up 4 chopped onions, several chopped chillies, a few cloves of chopped garlic in 2 litres of water for 20-30 minutes, let it cool overnight, then add 2 teaspoons liquid soap. Use this as your spray concentrate.<BR/>To make up a batch of spray, mix 10ml of concentrate in 1 litre of tap water, pour into a spray bottle, and use that as a spray. Aphids hate it, so do other insect pests. Hope that helps.<BR/><BR/>JamieJamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653345793213312242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-62176196557300333692009-03-13T20:20:00.000+11:002009-03-13T20:20:00.000+11:00Your garden is looking amazing Jamie.Could you tel...Your garden is looking amazing Jamie.<BR/><BR/>Could you tell me, do you have a good organic cure to aphids?

But spring is still pretty sweet, and we're getting into the best of it just now. <BR/><BR/>I just added two Australian natives to my garden this weekend. I'm not sure whether they're appreciated in their home country or not, but they sure look interesting and gorgeous here. Come take a look and tell me what you think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-48272615517777648232009-03-08T13:45:00.000+11:002009-03-08T13:45:00.000+11:00Hi Jamie.
