I don't use sprays at all,and at the moment I haven't any black fly on my broad beans or dwarf beans,I had some on the teasel that has grown from some seed that the birds have dropped,and the lady birds and hover fly are feeding on.I would rather keep it like it is now and not kill the birds and insects,they do the work for me instead of a spray gun in my hand.
I don’t use any insecticides ... if the blackfly are too much for our bluetits to keep up with I jet them off the plant with the hose. I did it once to our broadbeans this year ... I would never spray insecticide on something I was going to eat!!! 😱
