Re: CULT: aphid control


The talk about deterrents for mice and voles reminded me of the hint we got from a commercial herb gardener at the Minneapolis Home and Garden show a month or so ago.  She said that she keeps her lady bug population happy after they've devoured the current supply of aphids by scattering around pieces of Tootsie Roll.  The ladybugs love it and don't fly away to look for some new supply of aphids, so they stick around and keep that garden clean.  Cheap price to pay.
