This year I started and feed my seedlings differently. I used 1 tbsp of cow tea in a gal of water to presoak my seed starting soil, and after the seedlings got the 5th true leaf set I fed them again with the cow tea. I now have a couple Ring of Fire chiles in pots about 24 in tall. The big note is that I have killed 1 and only 1 aphid. I have not used any sprays at all. My plants are aphid and whitefly free.. L.B.
