My garden is invested......help.....I've got apple, pear and plum trees also a climbing rose and now my bean plants just covered in them. How do I attract ladybirds or what else can anybody suggest. It's driving me a bit nuts.

    I usually spray any plants covered with aphids with water, either gently from a hose or a bottle.  However this year I decided to leave the aphids alone and I am so pleased that I have because the blue and great tits and probably some other birds too are enjoying the feast.  Three weeks on and most of the aphids have been eaten or moved on to our neighbour's!
