Aphids on my Cucumbers

By:Gill

I've recently started a vege patch (raised beds). After 2 attempts at cucumber seedlings I feel devastated at what the aphids have done. The other veges are doing ok - just the cucumber seedlings. I've sprayed with several things: *chilli & garlic, *strong detergent/water, *pyrethrum, *white oil, *even sprinkled freshly ground coffee powder...to no avail. The capsicum and chilli seedlings appear to be very slow. Could it be too cold for them? Lastly, I've been liquid fertilising with Magic Gro every week - am I overdoing it? Gill
