How to get rid of your garden pests


A picture of LADYBUGS- a gardeners friend!

APHIDS- a problem on tomatoes and roses
For a small spray bottle mix one bottle full of water, 1 tablespoon liquid dish soap and 2-3 cloves chopped garlic. Stir gently so it doesn’t get all foamy. Spray the aphids in the evening. The garlic may harm “good” insects as well so be careful when spraying. This should help.
Also- remember ladybugs eat aphids so be nice to ladybugs!
