I planted a lot of seeds this past spring and now have a lush vegetable, herb and flower garden on a balcony in NYC. Usually aphids and other small bugs gravitate to many of my plants since it is "fresh food" to them in the city. About two weeks ago I noticed those little green aphids on the new growth of my cosmos, peppers and tomatoes. I sprayed them with Safer Brand Insect Killer and they started moving around but shortly stopped in their tracks. The next day I noticed they were all dead. More bugs came back a few days later, but I sprayed again and no problem! I feel better using this product because it IS safer than using traditional chemicals and it works! I will continue to buy this product so I can enjoy my veggies and flowers all season long!

I keep my plants in containers on the deck, so I did NOT want anything toxic. This has certainly been a good choice for that, I used it on my veggies with no problem. It has a clean, kind of waxy smell, not harsh or chemical.
I'm not an experienced enough gardener to know exactly how much credit to give it, this is my first year, but every single plant has survived and thrived.
Our tomatoes, strawberries, and blueberries are fine, our raspberries seem to be starting to bear fruit, and I haven't had any bug problems at all, and no leaf discoloration. Our potatoes are going wild, I think we can live on french fries next year if we want!
I don't know if gardening is easier than I thought or if this stuff is the reason I had no fatalities, but not a single leaf got munched on by bugs.
I'll use this, and probably only this, from now on.
Pray and spray, those are my gardening secrets! :)
