A bugs life!
It starts with the Aphids. When we put our plants on the balcony this year those dastardly greenfly hit them with a vengance. We tried a natural remedy, based on soaked nettles.. but without success we were left with no other option but to pray for ladybird or hover fly lavae. Just when we thought we would never get any luck we spotted the first ladybird lavae. They’re ugly little critters but with plenty of aphids to munch on they soon grew big and strong....
