I'm not sure what dish soap you use but I tried 1 part Palmolive with 4
parts water and killed every plant that I sprayed. I must have used too
powerful a dishsoap because 1 part soap for every 2 parts water sounds like
way too potent a ratio.

In an old spray bottle, add:

1 part liquid detergent (dish soap)
2 parts water

& spray those little buggers away. . . .

work for me - I use it on my veggies, flowering plants, etc - & it does kill
aphids, ants, flies, spiders, pincher bugs,. . . .

Subject:  [CH] Aphid Problem

Hello All,

Recently I planted a small (20-square foot) raised bed full of various
peppers and some coriander.

My peppers are developing a slight aphid problem, up to now it's been fairly
mild (I've just picked them off) but now it's starting to get worse.  This
is the first garden I have planted so I'm not sure what to do about the
aphids.  I figured if anyone would know you guys would.

Thanks
