Oh and I forgot to add … he is so caring about the people who garden with him … that he answers their questions and actually gets back to them and you definitely know this is a busy man with his job family and gardening … we thank you so much … we are vegan and what we spray we also eat 😎

I used to use a combination of plant-based soap and pure lemon juice in equal parts (mix rate was 20:1 with water from the hose) and I would spray down all my vegetation (trees, ornamentals, hedges, flowers, fruits and veggies) once a week on the coolest part of the day (usually early evening). Kept buggies to a minimum whilst I fixed underlying problems (poor soil conditions, overcrowding, etc.) This will be a good 'spot' treatment. Thanks =)

Ive got advice, not for bugs but rather fungus. This year, every time my tomatoes got fungal infected leaves, I fully sprayed with clove/Rosemary water mixture every night, for a few days. Both times Id have new sets of leaves dying, every day soft brown spots moved up the plant until I sprayed, and it stops spread the same day. Spray front and backs of leaves, try not do wet flowers too much but a mist wont hurt. Only thing I noticed was one morning after spraying my tomato, a part of my raspberry that got residual mist had its natural powdery coating taken off the cane. Its fine but I’m sure its not good for it. As he says, test a bit on a small leaf/stem to see the plants reaction. Hope anyone who has these these fungal issues every year can benefit from this, cheers.

Found Aphids in the peas today and as you said, their environment is the main contributor. I planted too tightly, not expecting everything I planted to come up. Boy was I wrong! I'm going to thin them some tomorrow after work and get some Meyers on my lunch break just in case. As always Jeff, thank you for your advice!

I lost all 20 cucumber plants to aphids (yep, planted too close). Saved 2 suckers, threw them in Kratky hydroponics. Aphids came back but I'm using an air mattress blower on the plants daily. Plants now look great!

Thank you so much …my friends and I love your videos because we are new to gardening and your the only one that explains things very easy and your voice is very soothing… thank you so much

First time gardener here... Thank you so much for your simple and informative videos. My husband and I are so excited to start our gardening journey.

Thanks Geoff for sharing this. I am pretty particular of what I put on the garden which will eventually feed me and this solution is perfect and this is the right time of year especially since here on the west coast with our first heat wave. We have had so much rain and our plants are not quite used to a massive jump in temperature and lots of sun. I use a non-perfumed, natural soap from the Natural Section of the local grocer. I did not think of using vegetable oil until you mentioned it, this is a much cheaper solution than Neem oil. Rosella

My first go to is hard water spray. Next, soap and peppermint oil. But sometimes, I breakout the bad stuff.

This was awesome! This reminded me of a informational video we watched as kids. Exactly what we need now as adults. Nothing too complicated. Loved learning, thank you!

Perfect video Geoff and perfectly timed! I did spray down all of my garlic, tomatoes and runner beans with diluted dish soap but didn't know about the oil, so i will add that tomorrow to the bottle, hose them down and re apply. Thanks for the tips! Also, earlier today, i went in and pruned down more of the lower tomato leaves to allow more air flow as i noticed that some of the black aphids had crawled onto the leaves from the garlic. They wasn't pruned that long ago but the tomatoes sure have shot up during the hot weather here! Like you say when you are growing so much it is hard to keep track of all of the things you need to do. I ended up pulling out the soft neck garlic and there were a few decent sized bulbs say about 5/9 that i planted. The 3 rows of hard neck garlic, doesn't seem as bad so i am just going to spray them to keep the aphid numbers down.

You have saved my rose!!! It worked completely, thank you SO MUCH :)

I need this for my gardens.

Yes it works. I use it in my garden. Nice video From. Muhammad Mubeen Farooq Advocate. Pakistan

Excellent video, this should help with my pepper plant, brought in for winter that had an aphid explosion. Thanks a ton.

Excellent presentation, very helpful.

So helpful 🥰thank you. Will definitely add this recipe to my pest control arsenal 🥳

Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
