whiteflies. organic grow

sdgrower · #1 (**permalink**) 04-24-2007, 03:48 AM

I live on a canyon and I went to check my plants the other day only to find a bunch of whiteflies on the underside of my leaves. I have an all organic grow with organic soil, compost, food, etc. I already tried ladybugs last night but i checked on them today and there were still whiteflies and only a couple live ladybugs. Im not so enthusiastic about using pesticides so what would be a good option?

HOME REMEDIES:

DISH SOAP AND WARM WATER (about 1 Tablespoon per pint)

RUBBING ALCOHOL (and about 1/2 teaspoon soap)

CHEYENNE PEPPER, TABASCO, JALAPENO JUICE, GARLIC EXTRACT

NOTE: These home remedies are diluted with water, . You will have to experiment to see what works, and to see what is gentle on the plant.

thanks. I already tried the garlic and onion technique a few days ago and that worked for aphids, but it didnt work for white flies. i think i will try one remedy for each plant to test it, thanks again.
