Folks I really hope you got to know this troublesome weed. If you enjoyed this episode make sure you check out next Friday's episode on tomatoes, You will not want to miss that. And in the meantime, you can check out these videos here th-cam.com/video/s8jKmLPQe28/w-d-xo.html
I've grown tomatoes for many years and I grow companion plants with them and I've never had a problem with any parasites! I use Mexican Marigolds [Tagetes] French Marigolds and Garlic bulbs. Never let me down.
Love your channel Tony.. will the soap work with stopping moths and white butterfly’s laying the eggs? Because it’s destroying my veg still. I’ve got rid of the slugs following your slug video. But once the moth or Bfly eggs are hatching it’s wiping some of my veg out. Thanks
I was using Dawn at first and nothing was happening. I found your video and promptly purchased some castile soap. It appeared like nothing was happening, and I was about to purchase some neem oil, when I decided to look closer at my pepper plant. They were all dried up on the leaves/flowers so it definitely does work. Thank you very much for your wonderful video!
This is so so needed. I live in the US bit there arent alot of videos that tell you what to put on them to keep a the bugs from eating them. Thank you.
Neem oil smells wonderful _to me_ 😁 I use it weekly - 1 Tablespoon to 1 Gallon with about 1.5 Teaspoons of Castille liquid. My tip to anyone reading: spray EVERYTHING including surrounding weeds, volunteers and flower leaves... if you don't pests and diseases will cause enough problems in the surroundings to affect your "maintained" plants.
They have completely destroyed my tomatoes and peppers the last 2 yrs, been using dawn w neem and hasn't worked. I actually completely netted my garden and they have found a way in. Going to try the Castile, fingers crossed as these things are nasty. Appreciate you posting this.
I've sometimes used Savon Noire, Black Soap for aphids on roses. I'm reluctant to use it very often as I don't know if it, or any of the other remedies you mention are harmful to the beneficial insects, such as the ladybirds and lacewings. Any thoughts on this aspect? I have noticed this year that there have been much greater numbers of greenfly from early season, but a corresponding high number of ladybird and their larvae. I'm hoping nature does the job for me.
Thansk Anna, We are enjoying the lettuce wont be long before that goes over but I have some cut again in a container and more already sown sucessionally
I have used the soap and water on my rose bush early this morning I noticed somthing was having a munch I will do it for 3 days running and see what happens,I have spider plants years in the back garden and these horrible grey things like to hide in the bottom of the containers I dont know what they are they have lines on their back and 2 antennas they gros me out seeing them any tips how to get rid please I've cured my slug problem..thank you.

1:47 water doesn't work but it can be a temp solution. 2.16 soap soln doesn't work either with dish soap 6:00 neem oil doesn't work either, i tried also mixing it with soal solution but that too did not work. 7:03 You are spraying it on the top side of the leaves. the intelligence of these mites and other crawler is they take shelter on the underside of the leaves and slowly eat into the plan and leaves destroying them completely.
Thanks Chelin, i had stiches in it as a stanley blade broke through the housing and right in to the finger, but they are out now and all good apart from a little swelling
Can I use neem and soap method on my strawberry plants that have started to produce strawberries? I have noticed tiny white things on the leaves and stems, not actually sure what it is as they are so tiny but it's definitely a bug of some kind
Perfect timing once again - I was just talking about neem oil on the last video and asking what people do with it - now I know! The plant invigorator stuff sounds interesting - might check that out. And I didn't know about not using washing up liquid - we tend to put a little oil into the mix as well to help it 'stick'. Great tips once again young Tony - and hold on - it looks like you've hit the 50,000 mark - WOOHOO!
Thanks Jane, Yeah loads of folks use washing up liquid and wonder why it doesnt work :) SB is brilliant stuff you should get it esp if you grow squash pumpkin and melons as its brill for powdery mildew
G-Day Tony, what a great show. I have just started to grow vegies in a 3 metre x 2.4 metre raised plot. What I would like to know is no you supply your products to Australia.
No keith I dont won products. I mention companies I believe offer good products and services to my subscribers. I am currently looking into the USA and Australia to see what good companies are there to help you guys
Tony,..which woodchips have you? The ones I buy there are dark and same colour of the ground ..I would prefer light like yours .. Are they from the timber factories ? I always thought could they have toxic varnish if I ask for them in factories.
Great video Tony!! There are two types of soaps, “detergents”, which encapsulate dirt/grime to remove it and “surfactants”, which break down cell walls. We want the latter to fight these little devils. Like you said Castile soap made from olive oil and lye solution is a great surfactant, all natural and possibly humanity’s greatest achievement…
I had an aphid and small green worms having a party on my kale, so I decided to give them some party juice, I took a 1,5 liter bottle added 80ml surgical alcohol and put a pin hole in the lid and gave them this party juice by spraying a little on the leaves. Problem solved. Plants doing very well.
I use ground up egg shell and diatomaceous earth. I wash dry and crush the egg shells and collect all winter to add in the spring. The sharp shards (not crushed to powder) keeps snails out and adds calcium as it beaks down. The DE is to keep ants away so my bare feet don’t get bit!
Hi Tony, I have a question, I am growing a squash called' Gem squash' in a pot, (I am growing them upright, as I have a very small back yard) the leaves are like pumpkin leaves. I have been using pink sun Neem oil and pink sun horticultural gentle liquid soap, you mix with water.My leaves are still going yellow (I suspect Downy mildew) according to findings on the internet. I also give liquid fertilizer 7-7-7 feed for vegetables and flowers about every two weeks.I live in the UK, but have you experienced this with you Squash, how do you treat it? Suggestions well appreciated. Have a great day .
Hello Tony love your show. I lived Ottawa, Canada any idea how to get rid of Japanese Beatle . I had my Grape Concord for 7 years never once had fruits , just too many bugs.
Also, ants will protect the aphids and attack the lady bugs. So you have To control the ants as well. Hi use small ant bait stakes by Terri. They are green in color.
This year I'm using garlic water against the white flies, with great success. I blitz some cloves in 1L of water, let them rest for about an hour and then filter the liquid through a piece of cloth before filling the sprayer.
Far out I went from flies 2 whiteflies on my plan but while you were dribbling and not telling people how to get rid of them my plant now has a million of them whiteflies get to the point
Hi Diana, it doesnt change the taste for us as you will have stopped using it long before harvest and any residual taste would have gone and simply washing the leaves will remove it anyway
Thanks for the very informative video!this might be a silly question but will the neem oil affect the taste of the veg I will spray them with? can neem oil be used on anything and everything ?
Thanks Tony! I always get value from your videos and learn something every time. There's a lot of Spanish moss in a pear tree that I've been trying to control by just picking it off but after hearing your clip am going to try some of the antifungal stuff which will help with the creepy-crawlies too. I use castille soap too and my dozen or so tomato plants are looking good as well as the veggies in a large raised bed, built on a large pallet about 3 and a half feet off the ground so the wild rabbits can't reach it, and corn salad(the veggie) growing rampant all over! It reseeded itself from last year so am enjoying it. Good topic; thanks!Grandma in WA state🙏👵🌱💞😊
Hey, people. They are spraying on top of the leaves???? The Aphids are on the bottom of the leaves!!! How can it kill the Aphids it you spray on top when the Aphids are on the bottom????? I need to know. Because I have them!!!!!? Larry
larry the video states to spray top and bottom of the leaves Sorry for the late reply. A load of comments said they were responded to even though they were not. I am slowly working through them all.
This year i’ve tried controlling aphids on roses by using a drop of bio laundry detergent in warm water in a sprayer. The aphids don’t like that for sure! So far it’s working!
Oh boy! Yes These guys can be pretty nasty and only natural remedies get rid of them and their group of friends. Thanks to natural remedies my roses are blooming and breathing.
Hello! Thank you for this channel, and all the time and effort you out into it 😄 I'm an absolute beginner to gardening but am determined to take it up. I have had a real problem on my yellow zucchini with some sort of disease I guess? It's turned some of my leaves on the plant a white/brown filmy dead looking dry dead leaf. I have no idea what is wrong as I'm just starting and would be very grateful for any advice before I use one of these methods and it's not the right thing, before I do something wrong. Do I need to throw out the soil if my plant gets a disease? Also if I use these methods like the soap and oil, what do I do when I want to eat it? Will the soap or oil have an impact on eating it? Or is there a special way to wash the plants?? Thank you so much!
the dry sections is likely to be an underwatering issue. the white fuzzy stuff is called powdery mildew. I have a blog article on it here simplifygardening.com/powdery-mildew/
First time I had seen the whitefly this year and it was on my patio apple tree, the apple tree is big enough to remove the leaves that had been covered in whitefly. Great recommendations, thank you Tony.
Hi Tony i like your videos and your methods, i will give a try to, i use a mix that i saw in another you tube Chanel that is 1 tsp of black paper / 1 garlic clove / 2 tsp of vodka . GRIND and leave rest for 24h/ them use 1tsp per1000ml water to spray all veg …..e used last year and seem work to, regards and all the best .
I grow roses and have aphids and greenfly but I also have a lot of ladybirds which I’m trying to encourage but by using one of your suggestions will that affect the ladybirds etc. I’m worried how to go forward safely for all
Debbie use the neem as this will only affect the bugs that eat the leaves, as the other insects eat the bugs it doesnt affect them and its not passed on to them either
Thanks. I need help with bugs! In the vid, @ 5:30 to 5:45, what is the gadget you have in the pop bottle to spray with? Looks really effective! ps my white fly didn't give up over winter this year. I kept finding the little horrors. Were they likely to be invading from the mess of an allotment next door?
the jet of water from the hose is my favourite method. quick and easy letting you carry on in the garden. knocks my bloody red ants off at the same time. lol....................brian
Hi Tony, not long subscribed to your channel. It is brilliant. Thank you for sharing. I feel as if I am really learning with your videos. Thank you for sharing. Cheers 👍
Awesome, thank you! and welcome to the channel. Ive been ill lately and its the reason for no new content over past few weeks but I will be back to it very soon
Hi tony another and very useful video. Ive got black fly on my pepper plants and like most gardeners ive used washer up liquid good for your your hands ,no good for theses little buggers .out of all theses products if you could use one which would it be. luv watching your tutorials on gardening keep up the good wor🌻 👍👌
How about molasses? Is it ok to mix it with soap and then spray it on plants? Aphids arrived in my garden and there is no neem oil around to buy. If I order online it will take at least 2 weeks and by that time I'll have nice infestation. What I've read is that Molasses is also good and it has potassium in it so it can feed the plants at the same time. I've used it today so I can't tell you what the results are. If anyone has any info on it please drop a comment I'd really appreciate it.
@@simplifygardening Thanks for answering, but my garden in on balcony at 12m height and safe from ants :) I managed to get neem oil. I found in organic food shop. I killed all the green nasties and plants finally continued to grow. Those affected were all closed up. Now its all ok and thx for the tip.
@@TheQuantumShell Ah I was unaware you were so elevated but great its all sorted and sorry for the late reply I have been busy trying to sort everything for tomorrows live stream
@@TheQuantumShell Thanks :) I always respond but sometimes maybe up to a week as I have a48 hr a week job, running youtube a family got to keep the allotment going and spend 4 hrs a day responding to comments lol :)
Very enjoyable. About five years ago I set up a plot in the back garden and the whole ploy apart from the potatos were decimated by catapilars. It was terrible this year I netted the plot off. The pak choi are still getting devowered by slugs but supose I cant have everything.
Hi mate. Useful info. Does neem oil have any effect on slugs and snails? My pepper plants are being affected by both aphids and snails. Take care. Nick
Another thumbs up for organic neem oil....had aphids on cucumbers and it wiped them out in a few days.I did just one drop of detergent to help it emulsify better. If it seems thick in the bottle, the temperature may be low so hold the bottle under a warm tap (it is also decent insect repellent for gardeners) 👍
@@simplifygardening Risk of trench foot 🤣...been delaying a plot tour for 3 days as it is not letting up. Forecast is a few dry hours in the morning. One bonus.....not having to water the bucket potatoes!! 😀👍
Yeah mate tell me about it. Ive had this live stream arranged for tomorrow and a video to go out after it, I have had a nightmare trying to get dry weather to finish the bloody thing. but like you say no watering outside needed
I have found that the whiteflies on my hardy hibiscus LOVE Neem oil. I have been battling whiteflies on these plants for 2 years and Neem oil seems to feed them!!
@@simplifygardening Nah...the vast majority of people who claim to be experts on these types of topics are simply regurgitating what they have heard somewhere. What REALL WORKS is Monterey insecticide. I drenched the hibiscus 5 days ago and have not seen ONE whitefly. I will follow up in about 10 days with Monterey and repot and change the soul in the pots this fall. Neem oil is a total joke. My problem was not even very bad. Even spraying every day all summer with this "orange oil" did absolutely nothing.
Thanks for the really useful info, especially about the right type of soap to use in a soap spray, if I need to use one I will definitely be following your advice, thanks again :-)
Great. Too may folks are using washing up liquids and as these are detergents they do more harm than good and dont stick the product, then ppl say it doesnt work
Thank you Tony have you any ideas on pocket plum .? Our tree has got this I’ve taken all damaged fruit off tried looking for info but not really found anything only been told use neem oil ,any help much appreciated thank you ,great video 👍
Yeah pocket plum is difficult to deal with but neem is quite effective so who ever told you that is on the money, it will need multiple applications though

I am only 10 so i prob wont use this right know but i love waching these my dream job is to be a gardener or a actor
Awesome, get into the garden now you will love it and it will grow with you. I was 5 when I started
I've grown tomatoes for many years and I grow companion plants with them and I've never had a problem with any parasites! I use Mexican Marigolds [Tagetes] French Marigolds and Garlic bulbs. Never let me down.
Marigolds are great to add with tomatoes
Great video Tony! I use neem oil, but will be checking out the SB plant invigorator too.
Its great stuff Liz I have been using it for years and will totally sort out powdery mildew esp if u get it early

Hey Suzy, Great to see you over at the channel :) GEt Castile soap :)
It must be fate because I've just had issues with them on my cherry tree. Thank you for the advice.
I aim to please Tony ;)
Neem oil smells wonderful _to me_ 😁

Fantastic video Tony. Great pest tips. Thank you. And also your lettuce and brassicas look so good. 🌱💧🐛🐜🐲🍓🍀🌳🍏🌝
Thansk Anna, We are enjoying the lettuce wont be long before that goes over but I have some cut again in a container and more already sown sucessionally

7:03 You are spraying it on the top side of the leaves.
the intelligence of these mites and other crawler is they take shelter on the underside of the leaves and slowly eat into the plan and leaves destroying them completely.
Does castile soap or neem oil solution inhibit seed germination? I've planted seeds recently, white flies and spider mites everywhere.
Great tips Tony. The lettuce is looking beautiful. By the way, what happen to your finger? Thanks for the video, we always look forward to them.
Thanks Chelin, i had stiches in it as a stanley blade broke through the housing and right in to the finger, but they are out now and all good apart from a little swelling
I use a mixture of Neem oil and castille soap and water. Instant success.
Thanks for the video bro,can babyshampoo be used as soap solution?
Can I use neem and soap method on my strawberry plants that have started to produce strawberries? I have noticed tiny white things on the leaves and stems, not actually sure what it is as they are so tiny but it's definitely a bug of some kind

You know a great deal but you rely on store bought products too much.
Can I use mixture of neem oil & shampoo for the prevention of white flies
Oddly, I've found aphids on everything but my plants. They're on furniture outside.
Wow Katrina thats some infestation
Can these be used along with lady bugs? Just release a bag of lady bugs and don’t want to kill them.
Neem would be better as this only affects things that feed on the leaves, ladybirds dont feed on the leaves they eat the aphids
Awesome update thank you for sharing Tony

I kept finding the little horrors. Were they likely to be invading from the mess of an allotment next door?
Hey Pam. That is a bottle doble sprayer there is a link in the description where you can buy it off Amazon
the jet of water from the hose is my favourite method. quick and easy letting you carry on in the garden. knocks my bloody red ants off at the same time. lol....................brian
Yes Brian jetting down really does help and its fast
Are all 5 methods organic, safe to eat? And if neem oil makes the plants bitter for the pests, wont it make our food too bitter for us too?
All organic and needs bitterness can be removed by washing
Top top tips thanks for taking the time 🐞🐦👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Graham appreciate the support and comments
I saw you use a soda bottle for spraying. Do you have a video on all of your different DIY spraying gadgets?
There is one planned for later in Spring :)
Hi Tony, not long subscribed to your channel. It is brilliant. Thank you for sharing. I feel as if I am really learning with your videos. Thank you for sharing. Cheers 👍
Awesome, thank you! and welcome to the channel. Ive been ill lately and its the reason for no new content over past few weeks but I will be back to it very soon
Hi tony another and very useful video. Ive got black fly on my pepper plants and like most gardeners ive used washer up liquid good for your your hands ,no good for theses little buggers .out of all theses products if you could use one which would it be. luv watching your tutorials on gardening keep up the good wor🌻 👍👌
On your peppers I would use SB Plant invigorator and on greens iid use neem
How about molasses?
Is it ok to mix it with soap and then spray it on plants?
Aphids arrived in my garden and there is no neem oil around to buy.
If I order online it will take at least 2 weeks and by that time I'll have nice infestation.
What I've read is that Molasses is also good and it has potassium in it so it can feed the plants at the same time.
I've used it today so I can't tell you what the results are.
If anyone has any info on it please drop a comment I'd really appreciate it.
I wouldnt use molasses as its a food source it could cause an ant issue
@@simplifygardening Thanks for answering, but my garden in on balcony at 12m height and safe from ants :)
I managed to get neem oil. I found in organic food shop. I killed all the green nasties and plants finally continued to grow. Those affected were all closed up. Now its all ok and thx for the tip.
@@TheQuantumShell Ah I was unaware you were so elevated but great its all sorted and sorry for the late reply I have been busy trying to sort everything for tomorrows live stream
@@simplifygardening Thank you very much for responding. Any info is a great info even if it arrives late ;)
Good luck with tomorrows stream.
@@TheQuantumShell Thanks :) I always respond but sometimes maybe up to a week as I have a48 hr a week job, running youtube a family got to keep the allotment going and spend 4 hrs a day responding to comments lol :)
Very enjoyable. About five years ago I set up a plot in the back garden and the whole ploy apart from the potatos were decimated by catapilars. It was terrible this year I netted the plot off. The pak choi are still getting devowered by slugs but supose I cant have everything.
Yes you can Ryan use the info int he slug video and your done
Thanks Tony! Going to try SB. Didn't know washing up liquid doesn't work. You never stop learning!!!
Lin everyday is a learning day :)

Hi mate. Useful info. Does neem oil have any effect on slugs and snails? My pepper plants are being affected by both aphids and snails. Take care. Nick
get duck patrol army. They love slugs
No Nick it may put them off as it turns the leaves bitter but doesnt kill them. However I released a new slug video that can sort them entirely
can neem plants be grown in the uk?
Another thumbs up for organic neem oil....had aphids on cucumbers and it wiped them out in a few days.I did just one drop of detergent to help it emulsify better. If it seems thick in the bottle, the temperature may be low so hold the bottle under a warm tap (it is also decent insect repellent for gardeners) 👍
Yes it is brilliant stuff mate. hows the garden going? Its rained here for weeks now
@@simplifygardening Risk of trench foot 🤣...been delaying a plot tour for 3 days as it is not letting up. Forecast is a few dry hours in the morning. One bonus.....not having to water the bucket potatoes!! 😀👍
Yeah mate tell me about it. Ive had this live stream arranged for tomorrow and a video to go out after it, I have had a nightmare trying to get dry weather to finish the bloody thing. but like you say no watering outside needed
I have found that the whiteflies on my hardy hibiscus LOVE Neem oil. I have been battling whiteflies on these plants for 2 years and Neem oil seems to feed them!!
Oh wow! I have never come across that before. See if you can get hold of SB plant invigorator that should sort them out for you
@@simplifygardening Nah...the vast majority of people who claim to be experts on these types of topics are simply regurgitating what they have heard somewhere.
What REALL WORKS is Monterey insecticide. I drenched the hibiscus 5 days ago and have not seen ONE whitefly. I will follow up in about 10 days with Monterey and repot and change the soul in the pots this fall.
Neem oil is a total joke. My problem was not even very bad. Even spraying every day all summer with this "orange oil" did absolutely nothing.
Thanks bro,cant I boil the neem leaves instead,these whiteflies are destroying my plants😔
Yes you can boil them up and use the water
Thank you very much my friend hope it help controlling these pest 😊
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the really useful info, especially about the right type of soap to use in a soap spray, if I need to use one I will definitely be following your advice, thanks again :-)
Great. Too may folks are using washing up liquids and as these are detergents they do more harm than good and dont stick the product, then ppl say it doesnt work
🥀sawn plant
Thanks
What ratio of neem oil do you use to water?
Thank you Tony have you any ideas on pocket plum .? Our tree has got this I’ve taken all damaged fruit off tried looking for info but not really found anything only been told use neem oil ,any help much appreciated thank you ,great video 👍
Yeah pocket plum is difficult to deal with but neem is quite effective so who ever told you that is on the money, it will need multiple applications though
appreciated this video
