Last year, I had some problems with aphids on my VFTs and sarr. I don't know
if the cold winter we had will improve or exacerbate the problem. My wife
won't let me use one of the more toxic agents so I'm considering Safer spray.
Does anyone have experience with Safer? Unfortunately, CP are not among the
plants it lists on the bottle directions for indications and contraindications.
I am also looking at Ladybugs and other biological controls. I figure they mig
ht end up as plant food, however...Any other proven suggestions which won't kil
l the plants???? -alex
