Aphids!!!!

Dastardly darn dreadful drags known as aphids are attempting to destroy my corn!!! I thought the ants were eating the corn, but after a little research I discover that the ants are actually eating the aphids that are devouring the corn.

Never saw myself rooting for ants....

So we mixed up an insecticidal soap. We used :

2 gallons of water
1/2 cup home made liquid soap
2 Tbls hot sauce

Use hot water, mix together, and allow to cool before spraying on the garden.

Spray on a well watered garden, leave on for 1 hour, then rinse off the plants.

It is pretty darn effective and non toxic.

Maybe the corn will still thrive?
