Seek wasn’t cooperating with an ID.

What’s the best way to deal with them?

Does diatomaceous earth not work well for aphids?

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

I’ve never used it so I’m not an expert, but doesn’t diatomaceous earth have to be fairly dry to be effective? Maybe I over water my garden but I think that might be an issue for me.

It didn't work well for me.

Interesting, I'll have to keep that in mind and do some research if I ever have aphid issues, I'm newer to plants and thats about all I have for managing pests right now

Thanks for your thoughts ☺️
