I want to eat only natural products, so I decided to do without harmful chemistry in the garden. But aphids prevented my plans. She waged a long and tiring struggle with her. Already ready to give up and buy shop poison. The last hope remained - milk with iodine from aphids. Surprisingly, the mixture helped very quickly.

Milk and iodine against aphids are an effective and inexpensive composition. It is easy to use, it acts instantly, but there is a slight nuance. The tool has a contact effect and does not help from pests that managed to wrap themselves in a leaf. In this case, the affected parts of the plant must be removed or sprayed with their chemistry.

Reviews prove that the aphid remedy is effective. It destroys the parasite and protects the foliage from fungal damage. But they need to handle planting regularly.
