Aphids? On Spinach
15 years ago
Hi. I have a garden container on my second story balcony, and I am growing my vegetables organically.
This is the first time I have grown spinach, and unfortunately today I noticed what I believe are aphids. Only one of my three plants is badly infected.
What are some ways to deal with them without using pesticides?
