There is nothing worse than having your beautiful vegie plants seriously attacked by pests. You love and nuture them and suddenly almost overnight, they are devoured by hungry pests!
But the good news is this is a battle that can usually be fought and won, although sometimes the battle can be lost if the hungry hordes arrive unseen.
But here is one of my favourite recipes for ridding my vegie patch of catapillars, aphids and other common pests.
Put into a spray bottle, 1 litre of warm water and stir in two tablespoons of soap flakes. Stir this until completly dissovled and allow to cool. Then simply spray onto the leaves of your plants.
It is a good idea, not to spray fruit and vegies within 1 week of picking and remember to store all solutions out of the reach of children.
