I am already battling aphids again. They seem to love mums
I sprayed spinosad last night, then read today that it doesnt really work on aphids. I ordered neem oil, which will arrive in about a week. Tonight they got a spray of DE, permethrin, and dawn. I looked up the chemical route and it is neonicotinoids, which are supposed to be toxic to bees. I have a bee hive next to the greenhouse, so I am reluctant to use them.
