it's lovely Eileen - there is loads of green fly around this year - I blitz them with bug spray - however my dad tells me I should be using water with a bit of fairy liquid and that will do the trick - haven't tried it yet - You try it first and if it kills your plants I'll know not to try it :) :)

lol thanks Angie........... if it does kill my plants can i ask your dad to replace them lol

but of course - I'm going to try it - he swears by it and it couldn't be any worse that the chemicals in these shop brought sprays - I should really try to be more green maybe next year !! Someone was giving out to me recently for using peat in the garden and I am starting to feel really guilty !!

Giving out to YOU.......... my god Angie what is the world coming to lol.
true about the washing up liquid mind, cant be as many chemicals in it as some of the sprays have. do you think it would have to be Fairy or would the cheap brands do lol
18 Jun, 2009
no - any brand will do - I call them all "fairy liquid" (I just have a hoover/vacum thing going on)
18 Jun, 2009
ok well its worth a try isnt it, think it needs to be a weak solution

I either use washing up liquid or one of the fairies around here as a rule, but have also used the Toto caress to deal with our little green friends.
