    I have found when you can't use neem (2 weeks before harvest and during harvest) spray the plants with water that had 1 tsp dish soap and 1 tbsp of the liquid from a jar of minced garlic. Aphids won't eat the plants because they hate garlic and I have culled a really bad infestation in as little as 3 days. Garlicky lettuce doesn't taste as bad as neem flavored lettuce. Lol!

    We grow neem trees in our yard here in Tampa area FL. Great for so many things. We got ours from a local Neem Tree Farm that carries a wide variety of neem products, including whole neem oil. Unfortunately, some of the big box neem oil has the azadirachtin removed so they can sell it for big $ rendering the leftover neem oil much less effective.
    We had to use Capt. Jack dead bug brew on the white flies infestation because the neem was slower acting on them.
    Thanks for the great gardening wisdom, as always!

    Really the only safe time to apply bug spray is when the sun goes down. The beneficials, being diurnal, have all gone home. The neem or whatever other spray you use has an opportunity to dissipate overnight so it'll be safer by morning. Just because I don't see these beneficials on the particular plant at the time I'm spraying doesn't mean that they won't visit that plant after I spray. By the way, using neem oil it's often suggested adding some dish soap as a surfactant to help spread it and make it stick to the plant. I found that the dish soap by itself is actually almost always just as effective as with the neem oil. And just as fatal for beneficial insects. The Millennial Gardener has a video on five pesticides and discusses this.

    • @plantabundance
      @plantabundance  Год назад +13

      I agree the evening is the best time. However, if you are out in the garden early before the bees arrive and you notice an aphid problem, I believe it best to take them out rather than wait a whole day allowing further damage to occur to your crops. The neem I use does not recommend including a surfactant. A good spray setting and lukewarm water works a charm! I've tried just about every technique there is (see the "related videos" link below this video for 9 ways to get rid of aphids). Neem in an electric sprayer has proven to be the best approach for my garden size and time schedule. Cheers!

    I have so many bumblebees and often find them sleeping early morning right on my flowers and on all my plants so I'm not one to apply anything that will hurt them. Neem is no different. I've decided that using predatory mites is a better way in my opinion. Have you thought of trying that? Our bees and beneficial insects need all the help they can get. More and more growers are resorting other less harmful ways to combat the issue.

    Very helpful, Dan. I understand aphids develop when there’s an over abundance of nitrogen. Have had great luck balancing nitrogen in the soil of an affected plant. Nitrogen in balance, no more aphids. The excess nitrogen causes/calls aphids to come

    • @richm5889
      @richm5889 Год назад +5

      That's definitely true. I had some arugula planted in with my other salad greens, lettuces et cetera. The lettuces were able to use up all the nitrogen but arugula isn't it had less developed roots as a result. That made the arugula unhealthy and aphids attack unhealthy plants.

    • @plantabundance
      @plantabundance  Год назад +9

      Thanks! Nitrogen can be a factor as it creates lots of fresh new green growth tips. With that being said, I have a balanced approach when it comes to fertilization (NPK). Aphids come in every year whether I've fertilized or not. Sometimes we humans as part of nature need to implement controls to ensure an abundant harvest and minimize crop loss. Neem oil is effective and safe for organic gardening. Just look out for beneficial when applying. Cheers!

      Very good points. I just today took photos and video of Lady bug babies hatching and then disbursing. They are VERY tiny. If you don't know what to look for they get completely overlooked, and sprayed 😢 (there was an odd lump on the underside of a leaf; my curiosity drove me to photo & zoom. Imagine my shock when I saw tiny alligators emerging😮)
      I had photos and videos of larger larvae and even pets last year, but hadn't seen them so small and hatching.
      I don't know what to do about my aphids now since I'm container gardening on a deck so my very few, crowded plants require extra diligence and protection..

      @@Jay-tk7ib Neem oil effects the digestive system of bugs that chew on the leaves. The oil can harm bees if directly sprayed on them, which is why spraying is done in the early morning or late afternoon. Bees don't eat leaves, so they will not ingest the neem oil. Also, the whole plant isn't sprayed, only the infested areas. Attracting predatory insects to the garden helps, reducing the need to spray. However, neem oil doesn't effect caterpillars. For horn worms, caterpillars, and other harmful worms, (Pickle worm, cabbage moth) use Spinosad, using the same process. For squash bugs, use soapy water. Neem oil, and Spinosad are organic alternatives to using pesticides.

    Any permaculturat ways of dealing with aphids? I think one should really pay attention not to damage the part of the ecosystem that would work with us against these critters. Stands to reason that without allies, aphids will come back with a vengeance.

      Have had success by balancing high nitrogen in the soil. I learned that too much nitrogen in soil causes the plant to call out for aphids which respond to the call. Bringing the nitrogen back into balance seems to have them move along as soon as the new messages reach the plant higher up. I agree with you that it’s more effective to work with the system if we can.

      I've taken the "release beneficials approach" in the past with limited success. The few that stuck around almost ended up being in the way, as I could not spray, and they could not compete with the onslaught of aphids. Some of these type ideas are good in theory but lack in results. I speak to my own experience of course.

      @@plantabundance I don't "release" beneficials, I cultivate them, plant what attracts them and let them do their things. When I see aphids I think "good - more food for the bugs I want!" It is a long range solution not a quick one but it works very well. Over the years I have almost no "pests." The only short term solution I've used is to aim a very strong jet (water) spray at the tips where the aphids congregate. Knocking them off where they congregate does a good enough job for me.

    Avoid it all together. Use pressure water spray to get rid of aphids.

    Plant Umbelliferous flowers and Daisies. An army of Lacewings will protect your garden from aphids.

    Thank you. I learned that ants and aphids work together so you may want an ant deterrent too.

      They say you should smear vaseline around the base of the plant so that the ants can’t climb up and defend the aphids
