Get Rid Of Aphids

I was checking on my tomato and pepper plants today when I noticed aphids on the underside of the leaves.  I was out of my normal bug spray and needed something quick.  I did a little research and found out that I can make my own non-toxic bug spray at home!

Here's how:  mix one part Dawn (blue) liquid dish soap with 100 parts water.  I mixed the Dawn and water in a spray bottle and sprayed my plants.  The aphids died instantly.

To keep the aphids from coming back, spray your plants weekly.  Make sure you get the undersides of the leaves since aphids like to hide there.
