Aphids: How to get rid of them
Aphids do serious damage to a variety of crops and plants.
They become reproducing females in just 7 days so they spread very fast.
To get rid of aphids use Neem oil or soapy water to kill the aphids.
Spray the leaves with Neem oil and especially pay attention to the under sides of the leaves.
Aphids like to blend in with the green leaves and they live mostly on the under sides of the leaves.
Why Should You Put a Raw Egg in Your Pot?
Place a whole raw egg into your planter. It slowly decomposes and becomes natural fertilizer under the soil.
Also, don’t throw out the water you boil your eggs in. The water contains tons of calcium that your plants will thrive from. Just let the water cool and pour it into soil around your plants.
