    Hello Everybody,
    I have a massive aphid infestation in my little garden, I don't know what to do. It comes back every year and attackes my honeysuckle and roses. Can anyone help??

    Yes please help someone - my Honeysuckle suffers every year too! Someone suggested to me that I spray it with water & washing up liquid?? I might wait to do that until I have a second opinion. I prefer organic solutions to these problems if possible.

    :confused:

    washing up .liquid and water is one way if you don't want the quick fix of chemicals

    also when you find any ladybirds in the garden put these on it (they can munch incredible amounts of aphids [​IMG] )

    Thanks for the washing-up liquid cure. I've done it, and now my honey-suckle is covered in DEAD aphid ha ha ha ha ha!! I did find a ladybird and put her on but I haven't seen her since.
