Hi all!!!

I know I don't post much but I was wondering if anyone remembers the formula for aphid control on veggie plants. I have forgotten the ratio of dishsoap to water. Also I think one dishsoap works better than others, if I recall.

My neighbor has put in a ton of tomatoes and I fear the worst if we don't get a handle on it.

Also...do tomatoes get mites too??? The lower leaves have that peppery look.

So what do you guys use on your tomato plants???

Thanks:D

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dish soap to a spray bottle of water.
