I use washing up liquid in about the same ratio as I would use for washing up. It seems to do the trick - although I've not seen off greenfly /permanently/ as I would like!

thanks for that info, wouldnt we all like to see the back of greenfly, but at least the washing up liquid is easy & cheap, I cannot bear the thought of the systemic sprays on the food crops
