Leaving the first flush of #aphids as a food source for the larvae of natural aphid predators such hoverflies, ladybirds, lacewings & parasitic wasps, is an excellent form of natural #pestcontrol. The more beneficial insects you start your season with, the better, so leave that leaf litter alone!

Self-regulate your garden! Monitor & adjust to solve problems. Spot aphids? Introduce ladybugs instead of harsh chemicals! Like life, gardening thrives on feedback & adjustments. #selfregulation #organic
