If you are not lucky enough to have nature, in the form of beneficial bugs, rid your plants of aphids:
* You can use blasts of water to knock them off of the plant.
* You can pick off the infested stems. You can also mix 2 teaspoons of dish washing soap in a spray bottle of water and spray the area.
* You can mix 3 parts water, one part vegetable oil, and a few drops of dish washing soap into a spray bottle and spray the area.
* You can use a purchased Pyrethrum or Rotenone, both insecticides derived from natural sources and safe on edible plants.
