    Default Deter Aphids From Tomatoes.

    I found this tip today and had never heard of it before so I wanted to share.

    To deter aphids from tomatoes, put powdered milk in a cheese shaker and lightly dust the leaves on both sides. If you do get them, a mixture of 1 tsp liquid dish soap, garlic and water sprayed on the leaves in the early morning before sun heats up and burns the leaves will kill the aphids. Sometimes just a good strong blast of water will work as well.

    Very organic and easy.
