Product Information

Some items are classed as heavy or oversize such as bags of compost, gravels, bird seed, large plastics, large boxed items or tools. I left mine only six days because I was impatient though my next lot brewing now will infuse for two weeks. This information is provided to avoid misuse of legal products and the use of unauthorised and untested products, which potentially has more serious consequences for the environment and wildlife than when products are used legally. After one to two weeks (you may want to do this outside), take off the lid, give a stir and the smell will send you reeling ! We deliver your purchases free of charge within 3 to 5 working days, when you are in a 5 mile range from our garden centre in Overton, Wakefield.

Greenfly and blackfly are a natural part of the garden ecosystem and a vital source of food for many species of bird, including house sparrows. Please purchase the refill option if you have already purchased the product as you can retain the plastic spray mechanism to use on the refill. This not only makes the leaves sticky, but the sugar attracts sooty mould, which can cover the whole leaf with a black deposit that reduces or prevents light reaching the leaf and so reducing the plant’s overall vigour.

By early summer, the foliage has grown older and tougher, this combined with increasing temperatures and day-length induces winged forms of the aphid that migrate to the summer host plant. Incorporating plants that are high in nectar into your planting schemes is certainly one way to encourage them, as is providing secure overwintering sites – even putting up “bug hotels”. However, when I first discovered the infestation, the temperatures were too cold for ladybugs to survive (even in the greenhouse), so I knew I had to find a different method. This spray contains oxalic acid which is a poison and for that reason I will not be using it on my edibles – fruit, vegetables etc.

Aphids have a lot of natural predators – including ladybirds, hoverflies, lacewings and numerous species of birds. They came for a short while last spring (sparrows, blue tits, starlings) when next door's sycamore was in leaf.

If you find that you have infected plants pull them up and destroy them by burning or putting in the grey refuse bin; don’t put them onto the compost heap or into the green recycling bin.
