Hello Chile-heads. Let me de-lurk for the first time with
a few extra thoughts for growers like myself with an organic
preference.
Some suggestions I've seen include spraying with water with
detergent and garlic oil - I haven't tried this; anyone know
if it helps ? A method I have tried is chilli powder, soaked
in warm water with a drop of detergent, then strained into a
couple of pints of water and sprayed on. I tried this with
2 teaspoons of ground De Arbol - it appeared to work; the
greenfly certainly started moving !
Tony.
