hi there welcome to Houston oshri and
his another video in the pests and
disease series and we have like most
years a bit of a problem with aphids so
I'm going to show you a really easy way
just to make a spray in and insecticide
or something and you spray onto your
plants and like kills off the aphids
which is good now there are many ways of
getting rid of aphids and I will show
you another way just using tomato leaves
but I'll hopefully do that a bit later
on so you just want about 500
milliliters of water which is 500 meters
and force' which is half a liter just
under a pint I don't know how many
quarts it is but I'll tell you down
below now you want per 500 milliliters
of water you want to add about a
tablespoon of soap now the soap you use
is going to be important I use eco ver
which is an organic soap and it doesn't
have any chemicals in now if you use
like a detergent that has chemicals in
and you don't want that to be added into
your organic garden so just mix that in
like that and then the reason why you
put in the soap after not before is
because you get loads and loads of
bubbles so now just simply fill this up
yeah does it bubbles so now let's apply
this to the plants so luckily we haven't
had too many a fits today or this
growing season at all but this is a
tomato plant and if it's love it now if
it's about 1/10 of an inch long fully
grown and ants like to milk them for the
sort of milk that they make and use them
as a food so and it feels like to eat
the pollen
well it's SAP so when you're just going
to spray your plant if you have a pump
spray it's going to be much easier but
you want to just go round like this
spring or the top of the leaves and
don't forget the stem because remember
the stem is the main motorway for these
pests so after you've done that you
don't want to go underneath let's weigh
all the underneath of the plants like
that and that make sure do you get both
ends of the plant so APIs are not gonna
get away with them eating your plants
that quickly another thing you can do is
to get a really strong hose of water and
spray it on now I do have quite a big
problem with that because it's a waste
water and I just think that if we use
lots of water waste enough to spray if
is so it's of time now if you do use
that it will make all the a fizz fall to
the floor and what I would do is paint
on a bit of honey at the stem to stop a
food's climbing back up and yeah so
that's the really simple and easy way of
hard to make spray for aphids and other
things don't like it like black fly and
white fly for example so I hope you
enjoyed that quick video and I'll see
you again very soon with an
