I studied aphids don't like reflected sunlight so I've tried aluminum tape to repel them. I found more effective thing on the Internet than the tape, I believe. I bought a roll of silver-colored mulch sheet, which is 1 meter-wide and 100-meter-long.
The sheet is effective not only for repel bugs but for cooling down soil by reflecting sunlight. Today I covered my gardening ridges with the sheet.
I'll plant tomatoes, eggplants and cucumbers there next week. Aphids love those summer vegetables so I strongly hope the sheet will work effectively.

Sounds interesting, I hope your method works.
Very clever! You certainly like the "technical" solutions, Takaeko. Must be the engineering genes you have.

I really, really hope the method will work! I don't wanna aphids anymore!

We can find so many methods for organic gardening on books and the Internet but it's important for us to try them and understand how they are effective, I believe.
