Evening All
Have just found your site. Looks interesting. The good thing is I have actually got through your nice and easy joining process.
The question is that I have quite a lot of blackfly on my runners.Can they be a problem cos the beans them self are coming on very well.
Any advice would be splendiferous.
Thanks.
Fangio.

black fly and green fly suck the juice from the plant making it weak . the also multiply very quickly, though runner beans are very sturdy,
mix a little washing up liquid with water and spray them making you spray under the leaves as well. happy bean eating.

I use this method for my veg and other plants it works well but may need to be repeated. On my non veg plants such as roses I add a drop of cooking oil to the mixture as this makes it sticky so therefore lasts a bit longer between sprays

... And the good plus side of using soap/cooking oil is they are, cheap, they are to hand and no toxic chemicals.
