One of the most important jobs in the growing season is to check plant tips, nooks in branches and under leaves for those tell-tale clumps, or before you know it you&#8217;ll suddenly realise new buds have whole infestations.<\/p>\n<p>There are, of course, insecticides to help you &#8211; very effective in getting rid of them, but it may have an effect on other beneficial insects in the vicinity. You could substitute them for organic versions, available in garden centres, as well as ones developed for fruit and veg use (such as Bayer Provado Fruit &amp; Veg). Small amounts of aphids can be picked off and squashed, or even hosed off.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise look at the big picture and grow flowers that are lapped up by hoverflies, lacewings, and ladybirds, as they&#8217;ll eat lots of aphid pests as a handy snack.<\/p>\n<\/div><!-- .vgblk-rw-wrapper -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check plants regularly to stop an infestation of pests The bugbear for most summer gardeners is aphids.
