Hydro garden update 4 Kill Kill Kill Die Die Die commie Aphids

Well my hydro garden has been going almost three month’s now and everything was going great until I found the aphids. They are tearing thing up pretty bad now. The tobacco tea and soap bug spray kills them pretty good but they keep coming back as there are no natural predators to control them in this indoor environment. I know about a insecticide that works and have used it before to control spider mites. Spider mites make aphids look like pikers the tear plants up like crazy and breed in the indoor environment like you would not believe. I had these spider mites for a while in me previous garden and I must have tried 20 insecticides before I found one that worked. And boy did it work took those suckers out and I never saw another one again. It’s called Avid and it is with a few precautions supposed to be very nontoxic. You are not supposed to get it in your eye’s and that is the number one precaution but other than that it’s not very toxic and you can eat the stuff your growing after a couple weeks. It’s fairly expensive and hard to find so you have to asked at a green house or order it on-line. I found a supplier down in Florida that sold it in small amounts instead of by the gallon witch would cost you over a hundred bucks. Cant remember the name of the place but it was a store that sold supply’s for growing orchids so if your looking for the stuff research some on orchid growing and you should find someone to steer you in the right direction. I guess the number one piece of advice I could give to indoor grower’s is never take cuttings from a green house. The number one advantage of indoor growing is the lack of pest in the environment. When you bring bugs in they have no natural predators and will get out of control very quick. Only grow from seed or get cuttings from another indoor grower that has no pests in his garden. That’s the best advice I can give you on the subject I’m going to try to find me some avid and will keep you posted if I find a supplier.
