That's a six foot fence behind my Tabasco pepper plants...
This past Saturday, I sprayed everything in the yard with Neem Oil for an aphid infestation. Too hot and dry... The spray was on the yard for most of the day before the rainstorm hit and washed everything away. Including the dead aphids.
Fortunately, I had just watched a video the day before (by MIgardener on YouTube) who discussed organic pest control, and advised to ignore the recommendation of using only 2 Tbsps per gallon. His recommendation was at least 4 Tsps. per gallon. So, I mixed SIX capfuls in my 2.5 gallon sprayer, to be safe. It took three batches to cover all the plants.
I checked yesterday, and there are a few mealy bugs left, but, the aphids are no more...POOF!
The distressed plants have greened up again, and are standing taller than what is shown above. Loaded with red peppers to be picked and dehydrated!
Hugs!
