This is my first attempt at growing tomato plants, anything actually. So, you can imagine I would love for it to be a huge success. I am having a problem, however, with aphids. I have treated with 5 spray bottles of Bioganic Home and Garden Spray by Green Light. It has controlled some of the bugs but others were left untouched. I'm at my wits end. Any other suggestions?

Have you had a chance to look at the countless other posts about aphids? You can also to to the home page of this website, click on information center then choose "a" for aphids and get a lot of information that Howard has posted there.

Aphids

To control aphids, plant adapted varieties, encourage biodiversity especially beneficial insects such as ladybugs, lacewings, hover flies, and predatory wasps. Avoid heavy amounts of fertilizers. Spray infested plants with strong blasts of sugar water and release ladybugs. Garlic-pepper tea, Garrett Juice with garlic, neem, and citrus oil based sprays will also help.
