Aphids!

Can't identify that mould? Got a great tip for keeping slugs at bay? Suggestions for organic weed control? Post them here...

Good afternoon all

I've got 2 batchs of Toms, 1 is healthy and doing well, the other (further down the garden) is full of Aphids. Is there any gentle / pet friendly tricks people recommend? I couldn't remember if soapy water was for Aphids or not?

Thank you!

A good hosing down with plain water should shift the aphids and drown a few, so that they don't come back.

Squash as many as you can or rub them off and give them a good spray with water.

Thank you for your advice :)
Water seems to have hosed them down nicely.
