I tried using that to keep aphids away from my dill.
It didn't work very well. I had to spray every couple of days.
Dill is the only herb I've had trouble growing.
You reminded me of something about companion planting. Do you have room for catnip?!
"Catnip - I think that this plant repels just about everything, except for cats of course! Use it to keep away flea beetles, aphids, Japanese beetles, squash bugs, ants, and weevils. I use sachets of dried catnip to deter the annual parade of ants that invade my kitchen. My favorite variety of catnip is 'Six Hills Giant' because of its proliferation of sky blue blooms."
It came from this site.
