Hi,
I'm in South Africa and we do not really use greenhouses where I stay
since the weather is so nice. However, my roses get invested with
them. The spray I use I am sure could be regarded as "organic" and it
is really effective. : I keep my onion skins from my kitchen and
when I have a "pot full" I pressure cook them with water for about 30
minutes. I strain the juice and make it up to 1.5 - 2 litres (3-
4pints I think). I then spray the aphids with this onion juice and it
works like a charm. And since it comes from onion's I'm sure it would
be acceptable as an organic practice.

Regards
Maggi
