I have both green & black fly on my sprouts.
Which is the best soap to use
Fairy Liquid
Soap powder
Sugar soap
What have you all used to get the best results.

I find Dove keeps me nice and smooth ::) but as for the aphids........

I think most household soaps are not recommended as insecticidal sprays due to the chemicals used in the manufacture.
Also technically it would be illegal to spray something like Fairy Liquid as it is not licensed for such use. (But who would know in the real world?)

Certainly pays off, Emma??

This from the same authorities who actively encourage us to use grey water from baths and sinks?

Jerry thanks for the info.
Has any one got a cheaper alternative.
Your right about the bathwater, the amount of dirt and grime that come off my two little one its more like a liquid feed.
Keep them comming

I use soft soap which is £4.50 a tub. It's recommended for gardens. You could also try rhubarb tea.
