To recap our soap discussion--use a soap that is known to be benign to the
plants.  (I use Concern Insecticidal Soap _now_!)

The best comment I saw (don't recall who posted it) was after using the soap
spray, since it works by contact only, rinse the plants with water after
about 30 min.  Minimizes the risk.
