Hello everyone!
I am a novice gardener, and I have jumped into the world of running and maintaining a community garden. There has been a lot of joys thus far, I am currently being faced with an issue that I need some experience with.
One of the schools that I serve is hosting a hydroponic system ( Lettuce Grow Farmstand Tower) and we have recently gotten a pretty bad case of the Aphids! I've done a bunch of online research and found different spray solution mixes ( mostly with vinegar, and mild soap) and it has recently fried the plants.
What is your experience with aphids on either your hydroponics on in the garden and how did you manage it? I understand this is a growing process, but I feel a little lost right now, and I want to be able to give the kids a great learning and growing experience.
Any and all help is welcome!
Thanks
