Miss 1929 said:But here's something I just read in Organic Gardening - if you plant catnip around the plants that have aphid problems, the catnip attracts lacewings, which eat aphids!
And the cats like it too.
That hasn't worked in my yard.
You can spray aphids with soapy water. Again, if you aren't sure how the plant will react to soapy water, spray a few leaves and wait for a day. You can also buy a bag of ladybugs or lacewings.
