Yes I have but it did not work very well for my scale but it worked well for aphids . If you catch your scale early enough then it will be very effective 👍
HEY, excellent video. I prefer organic solutions. We need to look after our environment. As you know we live next to a river and we have so much wildlife here. So we prefer to use organic. Thank you for promoting organic solutions for orchids 🎉🎉🎉😊
Nasty stuff! I’ve seen very few on my plants, but they’re around. 🤨😤. I guess my spider mite and gnat treatments must keep them at bay. Great information, as usual, thank you!😊😊
Thank you! Scale are such naughty little things, touch wood I haven’t got any on my inside orchids yet. But I’ve had them on an outside pear tree for years. they’ve been very tenacious. I will definitely try and keep them away from my orchids .
Great video once again... My gripe is against white flies, they just mess with my Salvia and I cannot get rid of them 😢. Have a great week ahead Peter. Cheers!
wow never thought white fly would go for salvia , thought their foliage was too pungent . Have you tried planting Tulbaghia as a boarder to them ? Which Salvia are you planting?
@thenaturecompany hmmm... I believe it's the sage salvia that I grow, I am not sure. I'll look for the Tulbaghia if it will help, I'll do anything to solve the issue except to stop watching your channel. Lol!!!!
😊making me blush here a little lol .. keep it up I like it 🤣Sage salvia , the one for cooking ? here we often use the two terms interchangeably . If you can find the name I can advise better some are more susceptible than others.

You can do it! Just takes a little vigilance 👍
What do you use for ant control?
we use a lot cinnamon , which helps keep ants away and diatomaceous earth is also beneficial . We will do a video on this too in the near future 👍
How do you apply Neem? Neat on a cotton bud or as an aerosol ?
I usually mix in water and spray on , I have never tried it neat
