I use the "flat" setting on my garden hose point blank with other hand supporting the branch / leaf for the more fragile or bendy plants, like tomatoes or young leaves on plum tree. Seems efficient enough. Have not damaged anything yet.

@sfertman - I'm glad to hear that the hose works for other people too! It seems to simple, but it really works. Thanks for sharing!

Ladybugs have always solved my aphid infestation problems and I not only have lots of Shasta Daisies but have a good patch of Pyrethrum Daisies as well. Ants feed off the honeydew produced by the aphids so killing off the ants is also important as ants will attack good beneficial predatory insects like ladybugs

[@mancyclediy]

That is really good to know - both about the ants AND the Pyrethrum Daisies. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome stuff! So helpful. Glad this was in my recommended. Ladybugs for the win! They also eat small spiders; they're great for the environment, but my arachnphobia made this ladybug attribute very alluring! For anyone going to buy ladybugs, I'd only buy those native to your area (so they don't outcompete local ladybugs) and do so if there's none in your area because ones bought online *could* bring disease. If there are ladybugs in your area but not in your garden, you haven't made it attractive enough yet! But all considering, buying ladybugs can be a very good option and is what I plan to do :-) 🐞

Yay! Thank you! And good call on using only native ladybugs :)
