Aphid Solution - Neem oil

  • Noticed more aphids on my turnips and cauliflower
  • Ordered this neem oil off amazon
  • Diluted 2 tsp in 28 oz of water along with a drop of dishwashing soap
  • Sprayed it on the aphids in indirect sun
  • Checked the next day and they were dark looking and dead – success
  • No harm to the plants
