If you find aphids on your plants, here are some tips to get rid of them in a non-toxic manner.

1) Release ladybugs into the area. Most gardening shops sell bags of ladybugs. Ladybugs love to eat aphids. So buy a bag or two and release them in the infested area.

2) In a spray bottle mix 1 cup of warm water, 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil, and a couple drops of dish soap. Shake it up (the dish soap helps the oil mix into the water) and spray it on the infected area.
