I’ve been having issues with aphids on my mint for weeks, does anyone know a fast way to kill them without harming the plant?

Maybe I just wasn’t doing a good job at spraying down the plant and getting in all the little leaf crevasse

I personally wipe them away and use my neem oil.

Is there any replacement for neem oil? I currently don’t have those

You could look up a mix

Ok, thanks!

No problem!

Diatomaceous earth will work for your tomato plants. It’s a powder that u puff all over the plant and it cuts the exoskeleton of the aphids and kills them instantly. It must be reapplied after each rain. Good luck!
