Get Rid of Aphids
Aphids, or “them little suckers” as my grandpa refers to them, are the silent killers of your garden plants and flowers. And aside from being ishy and destructive, they have spikey butts. Who wants that on their plants? Them little suckers are often the cause of yellowing and curling leaves, unattractive sooty black fungus coating the leaves and all too often the death of your plants. They even have the tendency of gathering a hungry following of ants that will protect them and the tasty “honeydew” that they secrete as a byproduct of sucking the life juices from your plants. While it is kind of a cool mutualistic symbiotic relationship, it’s also a pain in the spikey butt. So, do your plants a favor and read the article How to Get Rid of Aphids for a few tips and suggestions for avoiding, repelling and killing aphids.
