It's almost 2weeks since the aphid infestation on our plum trees, and there's been a marked improvement, helped by ants and those bespeckled garden companions, the ladybirds!
Jerry from Gardening Australia says: "Adults [ladybirds that is!] will consume 2,500 aphids during their life."
That's lucky for us! :o)
I've used the water and detergent solution three times in that time and it seems to had quite an effect - the trees now smell like fresh lemon!
