This is an organic recipe that will take care of the nasty pests that are eating your plants. Great thing about this recipe, is that it does NOT harm the beneficial bugs that we DO want in our gardens ! And it also takes care of fungal problems. It's a win, win !

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We have two kinds of aphids here in the desert. They are just fierce and will simply devour your plants if you don't use a bug spray. I haven't found a commercial spray that works on Utah aphids. I used this on my dwarf apricot tree and rose bushes. It not only got rid of the aphids, but it got rid of the spider mites, too. A fraction of the cost of commercial sprays. I bought a 2 gallon sprayer for this recipe.
