Twice over winter/early spring I sprayed my fruit trees with a commercial winter wash, to try to prevent wretched aphids on my apples, plums and pears. It was correctly applied. I also gave each tree a blood fish and bonemeal feed.
They're back! Especially on the Bramley which was so affected last year that we had no apples, except tiny marbles. The plums were so rotten we had to throw them out.
Sick of rotten fruit after careful pruning and spraying!
What am I doing wrong?
Little brown bugs on the grapevine too, plus vegetable seedlings which are eaten as soon as they hit the vegetable patch or greenhouse. My garden is a haven for bugs. Feel like just giving up.
