I KILL YOU APHIDS!!! Ahhhhh....the life of a Bhut farmer!!! :) |

| Aphids are just a fact of over-wintering/growing peppers indoors. I try to use the least radical methods. Ladybugs are best, as long as you spray a bit of moisture on the plants so the Ladybugs/larvae don't die. Soap sprays will work...but need to be re-applied. Basically, I rely on the vitality of my plants to grow new leaves faster than the aphids can eat. |
