Any word on the reflective mulch? They always say do not use in southern states, I bet it could help you guys up north. I like the fact that you deny them their favorite hiding spots.
No more Mr. Nice Guy, I'm going the Met52 route. Whiteflies and aphids are a constant threat down here, and I'm done dancing with them. Time for parasitization and death by fungus. Die vermin!

Gerardo i grow through white on black plastic mulch and i dont see any aphids until the plants get so huge they cover the plastic mulch. The white works the same way as reflective but less blinding and better in our climate. It has been one of my most effective controls of aphids for the last couple years. Plus the white mulch blocks weeds and helps keep the roots cooler in the summer months. Win win win if you ask me
