Oh no BLACKfLY................

28/6/2017

.Our runner beans were going 'great guns' then I noticed that one of them was heavily covered in black fly - strangely, the others seemed hardly affected.

So, I did a bit of internet research and found an interesting  and easy to make recipe for a mint and garlic spray.

Apparently, blackfly hate the smell of this concoction and give any plants treated with it a wide berth.

I made it up over night and gave all the runner beans a good drenching with it in the morning.

 So far so good. The plant that had loads of black fly on it still looks pretty sickly but the others don't seemed to have become a target.
