How to keep aphids away organically in my garden?
Very new to organic gardening. I am trying my hand in it this season. I fear aphids and want to know what I can do to prevent and get rid of them if this happens?
GardenersCardiff answers:
Lady bugs are all well and good; however…they are not the best solution when dealing with an infestation which demands immediate control or even preventative control.
Introducing lady bugs to the garden assumes there’s an adequate food supply (aphids) to keep them happy and keep them in your garden b/c once the food supply is gone…so are the lady bugs.
Organic controls for aphid include:
…hard spray of water to knock them off the plant (difficult to execute effectively – good results for minor infestations)
…spraying insecticidal soap such as Safers® or Neem® oil
…applying pyrethrums or rotenone as a dust or wettable powder (these will also kill ‘good’ bugs)
Other commercially available…certified organic controls for aphids include:
Azaguard®
Golden Pest® spray oil
Mycotrol®
Pyganic®

How do I regulate water pressure from garden hose to washing machine?
A washer recieves it’s water from a garden hose. But the hassel of going out to turn the hose on and off is complicated by forgetting to turn it off after a load of laundry only to find that a few days later there are holes in the hose squirting water all over as well as a bulge in the hose. How can the hose be left on and not bulge the line? Is there a way to control the pressure of the water so it would be like indoor plumbing, not bulging?
GardenersCardiff answers:
The standard default choice today for Washing Machine Water Supply Hose is a Metal Jacketed Hose.
This is due to the reduced failure rate, by taking deteriorating / aging outer jackets out of the equation and their increased burst resistance vs. Rubber hose.
If the stock sizes / lengths available do not meet your needs, you can have special configurations made to order through your local Industrial Hose Distributor.
Your household water pressure should not present a problem, as they are usually below 100 PSI, however Pressure Regulators are available at you local Plumbing Supply Store if needed.
