Aphids.
This is the problem of almost all gardeners.
Over 4 thousand species of Aphids in the world,
nearly 300 of them are considered pests.
That includes the Aphids we see in the garden.
The healthy garden has pests.
The pests that eat our vegetables, are included in the right balance of our ecosystem.
In my rooftop garden, I rarely encounter pests.
If there is,
sometimes I see Leaf miners and Cabbage Worms, but only a few.
In our frontyard,
I often encounter Aphids.
they are usually found in my tomato plants and peppers.
A pack of cigarettes can be used as a pesticide against Aphids,
to prevent further increase.
Observe its effect on the Aphids.
How to make pesticide from a cigarette pack?
Just choose the most inexpensive you can buy.
I recommend using menthol.
Remove the contents of the sticks.
Place in a container with a liter of water.
Mix well for 3 minutes.
Let it sit for an hour.
Then mix with a few drops of dishwashing liquid.
Mix well for 3 minutes.
Then filter, can use net or cloth.
Put in sprayer.
Then, spray on the affected parts of the plant.
Aphids will die immediately
so repeated spray is not required.
To avoid having Aphids again,
spray around near the plants.
Do this, once a week.
Again, this is Don and thank you for watching.
