ladybirds are around but ultimately the blackfly seem to be winning...Last night I tries a combo of rubbing them off and puttig on a soapy washing up liquid solution to deter the fly.
Has anyone tried to put small branches of elderflower in amongst the plants?This does work - just shove a few in the ground among the plants that you want rid of the blackfly and they will go!Old Bird
TM, what variety of beans are those in your pic? I'm doing something really wrong with runner beans - maybe keeping the plantlets in pots too long before I have put them out - all my plants so far are teeeny! Less than knee-high. :(
i am using a natural remedyrhubarb leaves stewed in a large container with water and the infused liquid is stained and then sprayed on the affected plants - it really does deter and move the blackfly
