Re: [SHADEGARDENS] aphids


Does anyone have a solution for aphids on lily seedlings.  I generally use
Safer's Soap but it is not recommended for lilies and the aphids in my
pseudo greenhouse make a beeline for those seedlings....terribly tedious
trying to pick them off or squash them and the seedling leaves are so
delicate.  Since Safer's isn't recommended for lilies, I'm wondering if the
detergent/oil mix would harm them.  Any thoughts/experience on this??

I got some Neem last year but it seemed to have absolutely no effect.
Anybody used this?
