One problem with having 27 fruit trees in your yard is that aphids apparantly LOVE fruit trees. Maybe the sap from the trees is extra sweet, but whatever it is, our yard is full of the little buggers. Thankfully we have learned over the years that ladybugs think that aphids themsleves are quite tasty and feast on them. With as many trees as we have that means a lot of ladybugs. Thankfully Walter Anderson Nursery sells them in containers of 1500. We figured two containers would do the trick.
We didn't get a chance to actually count the ladybugs but, based on the amount that were all over Teigue and Stella, I think we released enough.
No go eat!
