Aphids..I believe you do most of your grows organically, what has been your best defense? Sounds like you ordered up a pack of Lady bugs. What has been your experience with neem oil? Soapy solutions? As a strong stream of water inside the canopy typically ends with broken leaves, stomped roots and loud words. Plus can you really get them all? I am all ears.

Over the years, I have tried differents way to prevent and solve the aphids problems.
The very best one to my organic opinion is the predators. I dont think It works if you grow outside but under polytunnel, they are doing à great job. Same for the spidermites with phytoseiulus.
It s not Lady bugs, it s aphydaxis and aphydoletes. ( predators to cure and parasites to prevent).
