Your Ideas: Organic Aphid Control
Here’s an easy, organic tip for controlling aphids around rose bushes and other perennials.
Try baking a couple of slices of banana peels at 200 degrees for 15 minutes on a cookie sheet. Let them cool and then place the cut up banana peels one inch deep in the soil around rose bushes or other flowering perennials troubled by aphids. Watch the banana drive all the aphids away .
