rhubarb vs aphids

Post: # 106782Post VM »

Somewhere -maybe here or maybe other forum, saw mention of rhubarb leaves used to make anti-aphid spray. Does anyone know about this and what do you do, what amounts do you use etc etc?

At the moment I spray with solution of eco-friendly washing up liquid, which works to an extent, though rather frothy!

Try to avoid spray ladybirds, but they just aren't holding their own at present -many many aphids on all our fruit.

thanks!
