  • The kill or cure remedy did work, bit by bit it killed off my plants now they are all dead and buried, i've given them a burial the rubbish shoot!  . Ah! one marigold did survive and i'm keeping an eye on it.  As for the rest of the planter it is filled with poppy  seeds im hoping will germinate in this hot weather we are having. I like the tip about seaweed extract and thanks to Dovefromabove about the greenfly eggs, never knew that!!Anyone know anything about Black Fly they seem to be in the compost of another planter slowly killing the other plants. I've already lost two Lupins to the so and so's, now loosing other plants as well also my remaining Fushia seems to have some sort of rust infection and is slowly dying as well!! They say true love never runs smooth,  they should try being a gardener

  • 6 Cloves of garlic peeled and sliced fine.
    2 Hot Peppers Chopped fine.
    2 Quarts of tap water (or purified water if you're soft).
    1 Dollop of natural soap.
    1 Spray bottle.

    Warm the water on the cooker, add garlic an simmer on low for like 15mins. Mix in the peppers and soap, mix for a min, then funnel into spray bottle (cool with a bit of cold water). Spray your plants, will help with aphids, gnats, and others, but don't get it in your eyes cause it will sting like a bastard if your chillies are good enough.
