  • Whitefly on a tumbling tomato in GH

    The other day I noticed whitefly on a tumbler (gifted plant) , I removed it and blasted it outside. As yet I haven't seen anymore but how can I prevent them?
    I do tend to keep the door open all day if warm enough .

    I use a spray of diluted washing up liquid both as a treatment and a deterrent, I also leave the spiders webs to develop in the greenhouse as a natural trap, you can use those rolls of sticky tape like traps as well.

        I saw one & squashed it by my potatoes,I’ve put a French marigold where it was to deter any more. They won’t nest next to a marigold.

              I grow a marigold alongside each tomato plant.
              I havnt had whitefly in years and swear by them.

              And when your back stops aching,
              And your hands begin to harden.
              You will find yourself a partner,
              In the glory of the garden.
