2 years ago it was white fly in the spring
Then last year green aphids went after my strawberries before the ladybugs came out
This year it is black aphids...
Does anyone have any ideas how to get rid of these without hurting the turtles that run this system???
I still have 6 read ear sliders from when i ran the reptile rescued that never found homes. So I decided to let them feed my small system in the aviary where I grow the best lettuce year round... But I noticed the tips of some of the lettuce to be turning golden and upon closer inspection I found lots of black aphids...
How do I do in these little critters without making the turtles sick...
I could move the turtles somewhere else and then treat if necessary but what do I use and how long before I could put the turtles back???
Taking each one out and washing it is out of the question, this is a flood and drain tub and these are nearly mature heads.
