Weather has a lot to do with it. Last year it was dry and no aphid problems. This year it's wet and I have aphid problems. I grow everything from seed so no contamination from outside sources. Some plants are more affected than others.

Good luck.

I tried dish soap but some articles I read made me think it might kill the plant.
Have you had any trouble using it?
