Oh really? Sorry you did no appreciate my comments, but I was answering your 
question. I am not even talking about whose "business" it is, I was giving 
you the best advice. Using massive amounts of chemicals for everything will 
only make your problems worse. That is the truth. If you don;t want the 
truth, then don't ask for it.

Are you like some sort of pro-chemical activist or something? Pal, I was 
giving you ADVICE that you asked for! You wanted to know the best thing to do 
in your situation, and using chemicals is not it! Why are you so hostile to 
someone saying anything bad about chemicals? I'm sorry but they will not 
really solve your problems and probably make them worse. What is with the 
hostility?! Dang!
I bet you are the type of person who goes to his doctor complaining about a 
pain, and wants a pill for it. If the doctor says to soak in hot water and do 
certain excersise to loosen the muscle, and that would work better, you would 
probably cuss him out and tell him to shove it, because he refuses to give 
you a "cure-all" pill.

I GAVE you some information! I'm sorry it isn't the answer you wanted. If you 
want to hear what you want to hear, write a note to yourself. If you want to 
know the best way to solve your problems, ask us here on the list. Make up 
your mind.
For aphids, the best method is the soap spray recommended by someone else. If 
you use chemicals, you are just going to kill off the lady beetles and larvae 
which eat the aphids by the thousands, which will make it worse. Either take 
out advie or don't. Seems kind of silly to ask if you don't want it though. 
Go figure!
