HERB - bug repellent- aphids

[Svanhildr Valdimarsdottir]

The most natural way to get rid of aphids is Lady Bugs (yes, those darling
little red and black bugs!).  They generally can be purchased at garden
centers, and come in cartons that you keep in the refridgerator.  Take a bunch
of them and release into the garden right as it is getting dark.  They don't
fly at night, and when the sun comes up... voila! a feast for their
breakfast! 
They will chompchompchomp till the aphids are all gone!

Ladybug, Ladybug, 
Don't fly away. 
You're good for my garden; 
So, Ladybug, stay! 
You gobble up insects 
That nibble my food; 
So stay, Lady, Stay! 
You're a bug that is good!
