Natural plants to help stop and control Aphids

  • Onions
  • Garlic
  • Scallion
  • Shallots
  • Leeks
  • Mint

Help attract ladybirds and lacewing by planting the following three plants.

  • Dill
  • Marigolds
  • Carrots

One thing I have found, knocking them off morning and night with a stick weakens their colony so they are less likely to come back to that same plant. Similar a jet of water with the hose morning and night whilst watering the plants also helps.
